Producer rewards

The energy and commitment of our small business brokers drives our success. We see it. We feel it. And we want to reward you for it. 

That's why Blue Shield of California is taking a novel approach for rewarding our producers with a points-based bonus program that rewards you for the outstanding work you do. When you sign up for Producer Rewards, bonuses you earn will be allocated in points that only you can use. You get the full value of our bonus programs; each point is equivalent to one dollar.

Producer Rewards

Enrollment form for producers

Note: Agencies must first enroll before individual producers.

Producer Rewards

Earning points

Independent brokers and active individual producers within an agency participating in Producer Rewards. If a broker is part of an agency, the parent agency must opt in first.


 

First, provide your Blue Shield representative with the email address of the agency’s principal decision maker. A member of our team will promptly email a copy of the agency opt-in form for signing.


 

Qualifying products will include reference to Producer Rewards. Producer Rewards is for Small Group new sales only.


 

Producer Rewards partners with the vendor, Achievers, to issue points. For every sale you make that qualifies for the Producer Rewards program, points will automatically be distributed to your Achiever's platform account per the timeline stated in the program rules. Sit back and relax.


 

One point equals one dollar.


 

There is a 120-day delay from the group’s effective date for receipt of points. For example, the incentive points for a 1/1/2025 effective date will be issued on 5/1/2025. 2024 renewal incentives will be issued on 3/1/2025.


 

No. There is no limit to the number of points you can earn, and you are encouraged to strive to earn as many points as possible. 


 

Contact your Blue Shield representative or Producer Services at (800) 559-5905 for more information regarding the commission schedule or other sales issues.


 

Redeeming points

In your Achievers account, your points balance can be found on the lefthand side of the screen under your profile photo.

You can instantly access the Rewards Catalog by clicking on your points balance.


 

Producers have six months to spend points after which there is a one-month grace period before points fully expire.


 

No. However, points are equivalent to cash and can be spent on items like Visa cards, gift cards, and thousands of high-quality products within the Achievers Reward Catalog. If you have more than 500 points to redeem, log into your Achievers account and choose the Concierge option to receive personal service from a team member who can help procure items outside the standard catalog.


 

No. Only points can be used to pay for items found in the Reward Catalog. Achievers does not accept cash payment in any circumstances.


 

If you change agencies, your new agency must be enrolled in Producer Rewards to continue earning points.
