Preventive Care Can Be Rewarding!

Getting the care you need can help you stay healthy. Samaritan Advantage Health Plans members can now earn rewards just for completing preventive health services.

Earning rewards is easy! Visit your provider, receive one of the eligible preventive services and once your provider submits a claim to us, we will reward you.
