New Wellbeing Management And Health Advocacy Solutions Programs Help Members Lead Healthier Lives

Nov. 06, 2019

A complex combination of factors affects each person's health journey. Some of our members are navigating critical health concerns. They may be struggling to combat chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, substance abuse disorder or depression. Our Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions programs help empower our members to improve their own health and wellness.

Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions

Employers can offer Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions to their employees, our members. Members have access to components of these programs depending on their benefit plans. We have relationships with several companies to increase member participation in programs that target critical health issues. We've seen positive results so far.

Options for Member Engagement

Some of your patients with Wellbeing Management or Health Advocacy Solutions may mention Well onTarget, Livongo®, Omada® and Naturally Slim®. These programs combine data sciences with cognitive behavioral therapy coaching techniques. They often use internet-connected biometric devices to help our members achieve health improvement goals. Below are descriptions of these programs.
