HR Update
University employees and spouses who participate in the University’s Wellbeing Program will begin to see the new vendor name, but the program is staying the same.
Virgin Pulse recently acquired HealthComp, a health benefits administrator, and Virgin Pulse rebranded the two companies as Personify Health. This change took effect for the University’s Wellbeing Program on September 1, 2024, with a hybrid look that includes Virgin Pulse and Personify Health elements. The full change will take effect on January 1, 2025.
While Personify Health will offer expanded services such as health plan administration, University users’ experience with the Wellbeing Program platform will remain largely the same. The only change you may need to make is updating any links or bookmarks to the portal login page. The link will be available in mid-December, and we will share it then.
FAQs
Will I have to download a new app?
No. You may be prompted to log in again or download a new version of the app after the app officially transitions to Personify Health on December 16. See the Personify Health member services website if you have questions about the app.
How will my experience on the portal or app change?
You will begin to see a Personify Health logo if you log out of the portal or app after using it. The copyright also changed from Virgin Pulse to Personify Health.
Wellbeing Program programming and user experience will not change due to the rebranding, though Personify Health may make minor changes to its interface like any app or website. Also, the company is planning changes to its homepage in early 2025.
Will this affect the data that is shared with the vendor? Will Personify Health have access to my health information?
No additional data will be shared with the vendor as a result of this change by the vendor.
As before, if you earn Wellbeing Program points through University health plan vendors Omada, Medication Therapy Management (MTM), Ovia, or Specialty Drug Therapy Management, only whether you participated will be tracked. None of your personal medical data will be sent to the Wellbeing Program vendor. Learn more about how vendors protect your privacy on the Employee Health Benefits and Data Privacy page.
