Live Life Well Incentive
Earn $60 Per Month off your 2026 Benefit Contribution
The Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive is an opportunity to earn $60 per month off your monthly State Plan benefit contribution in 2026! Double your LLW Incentive if a covered spouse or domestic partner also earns the LLW Incentive.
You must complete all 3 activities - State-sponsored Health Screening, self-report Nicotine Free status or completion of an alternative, and self-report completion of an Eligible Provider Visit between November 1, 2024 and October 31, 2025 to earn a LLW Incentive for 2026. You can find more details on each of the three LLW Incentive Activities by clicking on the links below.
A New Wellness Portal is Coming in 2025!
State Plan members, it’s time to get excited! You’ll have a brand new, revamped, and value-added Wellness Portal in 2025! This is where you will self-report your Live Life Well Incentive Activities. We’re still working out the details, so hang tight.
You can still access our current Wellness Portal, Sonic Boom, through December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PST. After that date, you’ll need to wait until the new Portal is up and running to self-report your Live Life Well Incentive Activities. We anticipate the new Portal to be available in February 2025.
We’ll keep State Plan members updated with emails and mailings.

Questions about the Live Life Well Incentive? Health Care & Benefits Division -
How can I verify that I’ll be receiving the Live Life Well Incentive for the upcoming 2025 Plan Year?
To verify if you will be receiving the Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive for 2025, review your benefit elections.
- Go to benefits.mt.gov. Click on the “Benefit Enrollment and Changes” button and login to the system. If you have not accessed the system and you are a first-time user you will need to register and create a user name and password. The “Company Key” is stateofmontana. If you are accessing the system via the State of Montana network, you may be able to automatically enter the system without a user name or password.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to your name located in the upper right corner and select "Open Enrollment Benefit Summary" (not "Benefits Summary").
- In the “My Health” section, under “Medical,” click “View Details.” This will cause a pop-up window to appear.
- Under “Plan Selected” it will show if you and/or your covered spouse earned the Live Life Well Incentive.
- The election information section will show a bi-weekly (for employees) and monthly (for retirees) contribution amount for 2025.
- PLEASE NOTE: The LLW Incentive for active employees is displayed as a bi-weekly credit amount because employees pay their contributions through bi-weekly payroll deductions. For Retirees, the LLW Incentive will display on the Open Enrollment Benefit Summary as a monthly credit. Example: If you are an employee and you earned the LLW Incentive, the Open Enrollment Benefit Summary would display a $15 bi-weekly credit and if you are a retiree the summary would display a $30 monthly credit. If you and a spouse/domestic partner earned the LLW Incentive, it will show up as two $15 bi-weekly credits if you are an employee, and two $30 monthly credits if you are a retiree. If your LLW Incentive was not applied properly, contact HCBD immediately.
The State Plan offers the LLW incentive program to all enrolled members and their enrolled spouse/domestic partner. If you choose to participate in the LLW incentive program, you will be asked to complete a voluntary health risk assessment that asks questions about your health-related activities and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g. cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to obtain a voluntary blood test for certain conditions (e.g. cholesterol). If you choose to participate, you will receive a reduction in your bi-weekly employee contribution. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities of the LLW incentive program, you may qualify for a reasonable accommodation to earn the incentive. To request an accommodation, contact the Health Care & Benefits Division (HCBD) at
The information collected from your health-related activities will be used to help you understand your current health and potential risks and to offer you services.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. For more information, review the Plan’s Notice of Practices at: benefits.mt.gov/_docs/Resources/Notice-of-Privacy-Practices-10.2024.pdf.
