UHC should have sent you something about it - it is their plan.
For 2019, it is called RENEW by UHC or maybe ReNew Active and is only available in selected Medicare Advantage plans - it covers more than just "rewards". It seems to have been rebranded for 2019 since they are adding more of their own coverage (their own fitness program) to the program concept.

RENEW from United Healthcare
Here is an October 2018 News Release about the program - it talks about the new program and some of the state's where it is available.

You can check to see if your particular state location AARP/UHC Medicare Advantage plan is included by trying to log on via the instructions in the link or you can call your UHC Medicare Advantage rep at the contact number provided in the link.
I will also assume that if RENEW by UHC is included in your state specific Medicare Advantage plan for 2019, that there should be some information about it that came with your policy.
Sorry - that's all I got - it is not my plan, nor am I associated with UHC or AARP.
Just thought I would share what I found on the www. Good Luck.
Appears to me that these AARP Medicare plans from UHC have really failed in communicating the concept and procedures in this new health and wellness program.
Remember that Medicare Advantage plans can change every year in their offerings of "special or added" benefits, network providers and specific coverages. That's why there is that period of time yearly known as Open Enrollment - a time when seniors can scrutinize Medicare Advantage plans (and Part D plans) to make sure they pick the best plan for your health. If these "special" programs and benefits are important to you, you have to make sure that they are still included and how they will work for the coming year.
Sounds like you might have to verify IF any rewards which you might have earned in the previous year are still good or transferable.
I have no idea. Call your plan rep.
