F.A.Q.

1. How do I enroll in Virgin Pulse?
Once you have enrolled for County Benefits, your information will take up to 4-weeks to be built into the Virgin Pulse platform. After the grace period, you will be able to set your account by using your personal information and County credentials. The Virgin Pulse website you will visit is http://join.virginpulse.com/Summit. The User & Engagement Guide is available on the Virgin Pulse page. Enjoy the Virgin Pulse Experience!

2. How do I receive my Virgin Pulse money once I have earned points?
If you choose the Advantage Plan or the MedFlex plan, your money will be placed on an HRA Card from Optum. If you already have an HRA Card, the money will be placed on the card you currently have. If you choose the Maximum Value Plan with the HSA, money will be deposited into your HSA account through Medical Mutual.

User and Engagement Guide to Virgin Pulse

3. Is my spouse able to earn money through Virgin Pulse?
Yes, Spouses/Domestic Partners are able to earn points to equate to dollars as well as the employee. The funds for both you and your spouse/domestic partner are put together on the same Optum Card or are deposited into your HAS. (Depending on what plan you are enrolled in) Please note, spouses/domestic partners are not eligible to earn money for signing the nicotine agreement. That is an employee only benefit.

User and Engagement Guide to Virgin Pulse

4. How do I submit information to Virgin Pulse to receive rewards that are not offered through the County such as routine service rewards?
On the Virgin Pulse platform, go to “Programs”, select “All” under view and choose the topic related to the documentation you are submitting. Be sure to use the proper file type and file size recommended.

5. Fitness Trackers Purchases (https://scene.summitoh.net/index.php/employee-benefits/vitality)
Fitness Trackers are available on the Virgin Pulse website. Most fitness trackers work wth Virgin Pulse, either directly or indirectly through other smartphone apps (i.e. MyFitnessPal). If you purchase a fitness tracker outside of the Virgin Pulse website, be sure the device is compatible with the program.

Insurance Benefits > Virgin Pulse

Optum card cannot be used to purchase items on Virgin Pulse website or to purchase any fitness tracking device. Optum information can be viewed through the Insurance Plans enrollment year section, under "Flexible Spending and Health Reimbursement Accounts" on the intranet SCENE

6. Facility Discounts (https://scene.summitoh.net/index.php/employee-benefits/health-a-fitness-programs)
Updated information will be posted on the intranet SCENE, under Insurance Benefits > Health & Fitness > Participating Facilities

9. Virgin Pulse Point System
Please review the guide under the intranet SCENE link called Earning Points and Rewards

Insurance Benefits > Virgin Pulse

10. Non-Smoking Incentives
The 2019 incentives for non-smokers, the employee will earn 250 points with an additional 50 points. For those who are looking to stop smoking, Ease@Work is available via website or phone.

11. Fitness Facilities Participation Points
Virgin Pulse gives employees points for working out by tracking your activities with a fitness tracker. This is more effective because previously not all facilities were recognized by the program and employees who did not workout at a participating fitness facility would not receive the extra (check-in) points. If someone would rather use the trails, instead of visiting the gym they get their points through tracking only. Virgin Pulse allows for a clean cut point system across the board.

12. Fitness Classes
The fitness classes are placed at locations centrally located and available to all employees. Each class is selected by the amount participation and the type of facility being used (i.e. supplies weights). All classes are to hit an average 9-10 participants. If the attendance is low, those classes must be cancelled, as they are not a cost to the employee, however, they are at a cost to the County.

If you are able to get at least 12-15 people signed up for a class at a centralized location (available to all County Employees), we will find a way to bring a class to you if available through the organization.

Please look at the Virgin Pulse guide to get information on points.
