Health Rewards provider change
Rally is moving to Strive, which is powered by Virgin Pulse. Beginning January 1, 2023, the wellness link on My Health Toolkit will redirect you to Virgin Pulse. Strive is digital, so it is easy to make it part of your life. Daily check-ins help you build healthy habits, join activities with coworkers, and track how you are doing — not just with physical health-related issues but also your emotional, social, and financial well-being.
Action is required on your part. Visit Health Rewards to learn more.
Medical ID cards update
- If you enrolled in one of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida (BCBSFL) medical options for the first time in 2023, watch for your new ID cards to arrive in the mail. Here’s a sample for non-Georgia residents and a sample for Georgia residents.
- BCBSFL only issues ID cards in the employee’s name. They are mailed to your home in a plain white envelope with a return address of:
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc.
I-20 at Alpine Rd AX-D10
Columbia, SC 29219
- You can verify that your dependents are enrolled by registering at MyHealthToolkitFL.com.
- Remember to give your medical providers your new BCBSFL ID card number.
- If you kept the same coverage as last year, you will continue to use the same ID card.
Rate and design changes
To continue providing BBI Team Members with a competitive overall Total Rewards package, the contributions you and your family pay may increase annually. There are ways you can help to reduce these increases over time.
For 2023, the Short-Term Disability (STD) Buy-Up option rate is increasing slightly to $0.121 per $10 of monthly covered earnings, and the Long-Term Disability (LTD) Buy-Up option rate is decreasing slightly to $0.28 per $100 of monthly covered earnings.* There is no change to the benefits available. The rate change is because BBI has aligned the STD benefit period and LTD waiting period to be consistent with market practices. The STD benefit period will be up to 180 days instead of 90 days, and the LTD waiting period will move from 90 days to 180 days.
* Note this rate for 2023 may reflect a reduction from prior communications. $0.28 is the 2023 LTD buy-up rate.

Strive Health Rewards
There are changes coming to the Health Rewards Program and your account with Rally. Please take note of the following and plan to take the appropriate action before December 31, 2022.
- Your 2022 Rally account will expire on December 31, 2022. Be sure to use all your Rally Coins before the expiration date. You will not have access to them after 2022.
AFTER January 1, 2023:
- You will need to create a new Strive account. From a desktop computer: Log in to myhealthtoolkitfl.com, select the Wellness tab, and then Strive. From a mobile device: Log in to your My Health Toolkit account, select Benefits, and then Strive to get started.

It assesses your health across factors ranging from fitness to mental health. You will receive a personalized report with suggested steps that work with your lifestyle.
