Where does your risk for developing a health condition come from?
While some risk factors are inherited, most are the result of lifestyle choices. We now know that you can scientifically improve your health and lower your risk for threatening diseases by making better lifestyle choices.
We have all heard that we should stop smoking, lose weight, eat better, or increase our physical activity. We have been told that making small changes will help us live healthier lives, but do we know what that means?
- A weight loss of only 20 lbs (that’s 10% of a 200 lb person’s weight) will improve your health by lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol levels?
- Regular physical activity, as little as 30 minutes a day, may reduce your risk of dying prematurely from heart disease?
- On average smokers die ten years younger than non-smokers?
- Eating a balanced diet could reduce your chances of dying from cancer by 35%?
- Stress is linked to six of the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide?
A Health Risk Assessment is a simple check list designed to help you evaluate your health risks and give you suggestions on how to decrease your risk of getting a major disease.
The health risk assessment gathers information that includes your health history, height, weight, blood pressure, and lifestyle, as well as information on your family’s medical history.
The health risk assessment was designed by medical professionals and follows guidelines from national medical organizations such as American Academy of Family Physicians, American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association and other well-known health promotion organizations.
Complete as much of the review as possible. Upon completing the evaluation you will see a risk meter which will provide a snapshot of your current health status. For more information on any area simply click on the titles listed.
“A Health Risk Assessment is a highly useful tool in that it’s a forecaster for major diseases like cancers, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Not only does it assess one’s risk of developing these conditions, but renders specific health recommendations to lower those risks. Taking an HRA gives you detailed insight into your health risks, all from your personal computer.” – RAHUL D. SINGAL, MD
DOES MY PLAN COVER ROUTINE WELL CHECKS AND THE CORRESPONDING
LAB WORK?
Yes, in fact your plan covers well care including office visits, certain
lab work and immunizations/vaccinations at 100% of the network fee
if you use a PPO provider. There is no copay or out-of-pocket cost to
you. In order for the plan to pay for the services at 100%, the charges
from the Doctor must state that they are for routine well care.
IF I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT REQUIRES REGULAR LAB TESTS,
ARE THESE VISITS & TESTS COVERED?
Yes, these charges will be covered the same as any other illness.
Additionally, if you qualify, you may be eligible for enhanced benefits
through our CAP program. If you or a family member has a chronic
health condition, contact one of our CAP advisors/nurses to determine
if you are eligible for these benefits, which, in some cases, will cover
100% of certain routine lab tests.
