2026 Wellness Wallet Program/Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA)
The State of Maine will be offering the Wellness Wallet Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) Pilot Program to primary subscribers under the active State of Maine Health Plan in 2026. This program was created in response to requests from members seeking alternative ways to access reimbursement for expenses they incur while taking steps to achieve and sustain health, wellness, and well-being.
Open enrollment for the 2026 Wellness Wallet Pilot Program will be held from October 1, 2025, through October 31, 2025. All online enrollments must be submitted by October 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET.
The 2026 Wellness Wallet Pilot Program will run from January 5 through December 15, 2026. Enrolled members will be eligible to receive up to a $200 subsidy for reimbursements for eligible health, wellness, wellbeing, and lifestyle expenses for the calendar year 2026.
To be eligible and enrolled in the 2026 Wellness Wallet Pilot Program, a State of Maine employee must:
- State of Maine employee ‘active’ on the State of Maine Health Plan as the Primary Subscriber. (*Dual Contract employees ‘active’ on the State of Maine Health Plan are both eligible to enroll in Wellness Wallet LSA benefit)
- Have completed the requirements for the prior year (2025), and/or the current year (2026) Health Premium Credit Program (HPCP) prior to the end of open enrollment. (Ancillary employer/employees must meet their individual employers' Wellness Wallet LSA benefit eligibility requirements)
- Have met all the above requirements and completed the Wellness Wallet Pilot Program enrollment application during open enrollment.
- The State of Maine, Bureau of Human Resources, Office of Employee Health, Wellness, and Workers’ Compensation, and our vendors will assess and validate all applicants' eligibility.
How the Program Works:
Starting in January 2026, eligible enrolled members will see $200 deposited into their Wellness Wallet via their ThrivePass account. Enrolled Wellness Wallet Pilot Program participants will be able to use this benefit in one of two ways: Through the ThrivePass Marketplace or Reimbursement for Wellness Wallet Pilot Program-approved claims paid out-of-pocket by the enrolled member. Once a member's enrollment is confirmed, you will receive an email from ThrivePass in early January 2026 with instructions on how to access the online portal, create your profile, and start using your Wellness Wallet Pilot Program services through ThrivePass.
Important: The email address you enter into the application will be the email address ThrivePass uses to communicate with you and will be used each time to access your ThrivePass Account profile to access the Wellness Wallet. It’s recommended that you use your employer-supplied email address when creating your ThrivePass Account.
