With the EmblemHealth Medicare Member Rewards Program, you can receive a reloadable reward card for getting eligible services like preventive care screenings. The rewards period begins January 1 each year.
If you haven’t already, schedule your annual visit with your primary care provider (PCP). This is a great way to start taking care of your health.
Call EmblemHealth Medicare Connect Concierge at 877-344-7364 (TTY: 711). From Oct. 1 to March 31, you can call us from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. From April 1 to Sept. 30, you can call us from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Once you agree to terms and conditions and join the program, you’ll see what services and activities can earn you rewards. Then, talk to your doctor about scheduling the care that’s right for you.

**To process your rewards card for an eligible health service, you must register for the program and complete the health service or activity. The claim or attestation must be received by Dec. 31 of the calendar year. We will not be able to send you rewards for 2024 completed activities after Dec. 31, 2025. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that all eligible members who opt in to participate and earn rewards in a Medicare Advantage rewards program must redeem all rewards no later than December 31 of the current year and therefore any unredeemed rewards earned in 2025 will not be eligible for redemption in 2026. Only one reward can be earned for each health service. Your rewards card cannot be used at ATMs; for cash access or to make recurring payments; or for the purchase of gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. Purchase and merchant restrictions apply.
