                           The Vitality programme
                           Understanding Your Health
                           The first step is understanding how healthy you already are with an online Health Review.
                           And, to understand your health further, you could get a free Vitality Healthcheck. You’ll also get
                           started with a Bronze Vitality status. Your status increases as you do healthy things.

                           Engage Your Health
                           We’ll help you get healthier by supporting you when you eat well, get active and stop smoking.
                           Through our partners, you can get discounts on healthy things like gym membership and fitness
                           equipment plus bonus Nectar points when you buy certain healthy foods. And when you do healthy
                           things, we give you points and these will count towards your Vitality status.

                           Intelligent Incentives
                           Getting healthy takes a bit of time and effort. So, to keep you motivated, we give you incentives for
                           doing it. We’ve chosen incentives that help you rest, relax and live life well. They range from the
                           everyday to the extraordinary. Through our partners we give you cash back on tickets to concerts,
                           sporting events and West End shows. You can even get discounts on family holidays. The higher your
                           Vitality status, the bigger the rewards.

                           We give you cash back when you do healthy things
                           We think the healthier our members are the more they should be rewarded. For members with Personal
                           Healthcare plans, we reward you when all the adults on your plan are non-smokers, subject to each
                           adult taking a Vitality Healthcheck.
                           For members on Business Healthcare plans, we reward the principal member of the plan when they are
                           a non-smoker, subject to a Vitality Healthcheck.

                           And if you’re ill, you’ll have peace of mind that you’ll get access to the
                           best possible medical care
                           Through our health insurance, if you get ill and need treatment, we’ll make sure you get the best
                           possible medical care. We give you access to the latest drugs and treatments that are covered on your
                           plan. And when we say Full Cover, we mean it. You won’t just get looked after when you’re in hospital.
                           Care starts the minute you call us. You’ll speak to someone who listens, who understands and who’ll do
                           everything they can to help.
                           For more information on our healthcare plans please see the Guide to Personal or Business Healthcare.

                           You can take out some of these discounts and rewards
                           All Personal Healthcare members have access to all Vitality partners.
                           For Business Healthcare we include Vitality Plus in our Core Cover. Employers can choose to opt-out of
                           Vitality Plus. This will remove employees’ access to most of the reward partners. You will need to refer to
                           your certificate of insurance to see if your plan includes Vitality Plus.
                           See the following table for a summary of the discounts and incentives of the Vitality programme.

A Guide to Vitality | 09

Understand Your Health
The first step to getting healthier is understanding how healthy you
already are. So, we get you started with an online Health Review.

What’s involved
First, we ask for some information about your health – anything from your height and weight to
how you feel about exercise. Then, we use what you tell us to create a personal plan for you. Your
plan explains the things you need to focus on to get healthier, starting with the most important.
It’s easy to get to know your health numbers with the Vitality 1–2–3 process, you’ll get expert
insight into your current health measures, as well as expert advice on how to get healthier.

1 Free Vitality Healthcheck
Start by having a free Vitality Healthcheck to help you keep on top of your key health indicators
including your blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and body mass index (BMI).
For Personal Healthcare plans one adult member on your plan can have a free Vitality Healthcheck
every plan year. For Business Healthcare plans the principal member can have one free Vitality
Healthcheck per plan year. All other adult members on your plan are eligible for a Vitality
Healthcheck available at £15.

2 Expert advice from a Vitality GP
After you’ve had your Vitality Healthcheck, and have the results of your key health indicators, you
can get in touch with a Vitality GP if there’s something you’d like to discuss. You’ll get personal
expert advice on what your results mean and the steps you can take to improve them.
In some cases, if it’s necessary, the GP may refer you to have a full health screen with one of our
partners, BMI Healthcare or Nuffield Health.

3 Half-price health screens
You can get 50% off a range of health screens with our Vitality partners if you have been referred
by a Vitality GP.
For Business Healthcare plans with Vitality Plus, a GP referral is not required.
A health screen can look at a wider range of indicators than a health check and gives you a more
in-depth picture of your health. You’ll be able to talk to a healthcare professional about your results
and get some guidance on how you can maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of future
health problems.
For information about the health screens available please visit pruhealth.co.uk

Vitality can change
We’re always updating our Vitality programme as new
opportunities and technologies arise. If we need to make
any changes during the plan year, we’ll give you plenty
of notice. We might change the way we award points, or
the way the Vitality status works. We might change our
Vitality partners from time to time, and the discounts, cash
back and incentives we offer. There might be times when
we change, remove or enhance the benefits.
We’ll always let you know.
