Wellbeing Management
Our revamped approach to health management delivers a comprehensive, effective member experience that addresses the entire health continuum, from complex conditions to lifelong wellness. Components include:
Holistic Health Management
This clinical model proactively targets members dealing with significant health challenges. A care team, led by a health advisor, collaborates to manage high-cost, high-complexity members, regardless of condition.1
Advanced Analytics
State-of-the-art algorithms help health advisors deliver interventions that can have the greatest impact on health outcomes and cost of care.
Targeted Messaging
Personalized communications remind members of missed appointments, tests and prescription refills and emphasize the importance of preventive screenings and immunizations.
Utilization Management
Evidence-based guidelines help prevent misuse and overuse across the full spectrum of health care costs: inpatient services, outpatient services and specialty drug preauthorization.
