What Is Manulife Vitality?

---

The Manulife Vitality program rewards you for making healthy decisions. A personalized health and wellness program built into your insurance policy. Walking, exercising, regular checkups and more increase your overall health, reduces your insurance premiums, and gives you access to exclusive rewards. 

Manulife partnered with The Vitality Group to provide this program. Together with Manulife, they are creating the world’s leading science-based behavioral program for a healthier lifestyle.  

How Does Manulife Vitality Work?

---

The Manulife Vitality is completely voluntary and is just $5 per month. Opting in to the program won’t affect any health or dental insurance benefits, costs, or coverage on your claims. In order to add the Vitality Program you will have to start a new policy. It can’t be added to a current policy.

There are four tiers in the Manulife VItality program:

• Bronze – 0 Points
• Silver – 3,500 Points
• Gold – 7,000 Points
• Platinum – 10,000 Points

Each activity you complete gets you more points. Upon submitting an application for health and dental insurance you will have the option to add Manulife Vitality to your plan. Once approved, you will receive a welcome package containing instructions on how to download the app, fill out the starting health test and how to sync your new free smart watch. 

Yep, a FREE smart watch comes with the Manulife Vitality program. It will track all of your physical activity and give you points (shown in the app). Here’s a quick video to summarize how Manulife Vitality works!

Inside the welcome package will be directions to fill out the Vitality Health Review, a quick questionnaire about your current lifestyle. Completing this survey will give you 500 Vitality Points immediately. If you finish it within the first 90 days of signing you get an additional 1,500 Vitality Points.

Manulife Vitality Insurance Premiums

---

By utilizing the Manulife Vitality Program, you have the opportunity to reduce your life insurance premiums. Calculated based on your health and lifestyle. The Manulife Vitality Points and physical activity you do on a monthly basis can decrease your premium. 

The perfect insurance policy for active individuals that want to be rewarded for their healthy living. Even if you aren’t active now, the Manulife Vitality Program will provide tips, tricks, and ongoing motivation to help you hit the next tier in the program. 

Referring back to the 4 tiers listed at the beginning; Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each tier applies a new discount to your premium but it must be maintained. 

A perfect example; the discount for Silver is 2%, so you need to collect 3,500 Vitality Points in the year to have that discount applied. The same methodology can be applied to Gold (5% discount requires 7,000 Vitality points), and Platinum (10% discount requires 10,000 Vitality Points). 

Over time you may slow down on certain activities, in which case you may drop down to a lower tier and the slightly higher premium. Keeping in mind that the Manulife Vitality program is voluntary, your premium will never go higher than it was at the start (before subscribing to Manulife Vitality). The program is meant to give you some control on earning discounts. The base level cost before starting the program will always be the same even if you do zero activity. This creates a ‘why not’ scenario that is simply setup to help you live a healthier life! In the first year of adding Manulife Vitality, you will receive the Gold level premium discount as you don’t have any time to earn Vitality Points. The following year will be calculated based on the points you gain.

Vitality Rewards 

---

On top of the above premium discounts that you can earn, Manulife Vitality also offers exclusive rewards. Depending on how long you have been subscribed to the program and how many Vitality Points you’ve earned you will be eligible for various items, discounts, etc.
