We Take You Step-By-Step

The Prevention Plan™ makes it easy to get members motivated and moving toward health goals based on their current health risks.

Here’s how The Prevention Plan™ works:

ASSESSMENT

Step 1:  Online Health Risk Appraisal is completed.

• We assess the status of their health now and in the future through a comprehensive questionnaire.
   
• Results are posted in each individual’s Personal Health Record, a completely secure online storage space for all health records.
   
• Members can store medical information in this area — such as lab results, surgeries, immunizations — which is password protected and available anytime from any Internet connection.

Step 2:  Blood tests result and vitals are collected.

• Professionals from a national laboratory perform blood draws in the workplace or at a convenient offsite clinical lab.
   
• Up to 40 different tests will be analyzed, making it much more thorough than the blood tests performed at a routine physical. We make all the arrangements.
   
• Results of the lab tests will be posted in each members’ Personal Health Record, with their Health Risk Appraisal results.

Step 3:  The Personal Prevention Plan is delivered.

Each member receives a customized Personal Prevention Plan. This personalized report is based on that individual’s blood tests, Health Risk Appraisal, and recommendations based on age, gender and other risk factors.

• The top 5 risks are identified and individuals are provided with step-by-step recommendations to lower their health risks and prevent diseases.
   
• A physician (often a community physician) reviews all results and provides the member with written recommendations about his or her health status.
   
• Screenings, tests and exams are suggested.
   
• A summary of lab results and vitals is provided.
   
• A benefits analysis is conducted to identify existing preventive benefits already covered in the member’s benefits program.
   
• A personalized, easy-to-understand Prevention Plan Report is available online and can be mailed to each member to increase the potential of engaging the member to take action.

Step 4:  Work begins toward health goals.

Each member will find their own customized Health Dashboard on The Prevention Plan™ website. Action Programs and a progress meter give participants an instant snapshot of where they are in their quest for more good years.

• Expert coaches and registered nurses will provide members with encouragement every step of the way. If members need health and prevention information, they can call a registered nurse any time of the day or night.
   
• Action plans, which are typically 8-10 week programs, address key health areas such as weight management, smoking cessation and lowering cholesterol.
   
• The progress meter tracks and encourages progress all along the way.
   
• E-mail and telephone alerts, as well as reminders about upcoming screenings, motivate and assist participants as they work toward successful completion of their health goals.
   
• Members also can take advantage of our online “how-to” videos walking members step-by-step through The Prevention Plan™ and tools.

Step 5:  Rewards are earned for achieving goals.

A healthy lifestyle is not the only reward The Prevention Plan™ offers. Research shows behavioral change is a critical component in helping individuals along a path of wellness. With that in mind, we have built in an innovative motivational system (paid for by the sponsor) based on points that enables the member to earn gift cards from national retailers.

• Participants earn points as they move through the program. The more milestones reached, the bigger the rewards.
   
• Gift cards can be redeemed at national retailers such as Home Depot^®, Target^®, Books-A-Million,TM and Amazon.com^®.
   
• National prevention partners provide discounts on weight management, fitness programs and other complementary care services.
