"The cost of health care services can vary widely – sometimes by hundreds or even thousands of dollars – depending on where our members go for their care," said Jim Gallagher, vice president of marketing and product strategy at Tufts Health Plan. "We do all we can to support our members as they make their health care decisions, and MyRewards is another way we do that. It's easy to use and offers financial incentives to members who are looking for lower-cost providers and services without sacrificing quality."

MyRewards is fully integrated within Tufts Health Plan's Provider Search and Treatment Cost Estimator tool, allowing members to log on once to access these suite of services unlike other rewards programs. It can also be accessed through the Tufts Health Plan mobile application. This makes finding the rewards easier and more convenient to redeem and use.

Members can earn a gift card ranging in value from $50-$100 when they choose a provider and service which provides an incentive. Services eligible for MyRewards include, but are not limited to:

Bariatric and carpal tunnel surgery
Colonoscopy and endoscopy procedures
Echocardiograms
Hip and knee replacements
Mammograms
Certain maternity care
High-tech imaging such as PET or CT scans and MRIs

MyRewards is available to all fully-insured commercial members in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as well as for members in self-insured accounts who have opted in. For more information, visit www.tuftshealthplan.com/myrewards.
