Health Plan Improvements

10. Targeted Health Management Programs to be Offered

The University has teamed with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to provide employees and their family members with targeted health management programs.  The programs will target Pregnancy, Asthma, Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Employees and family members diagnosed with such conditions will be eligible to receive information for managing their specific health issue, reminders regarding proactive steps than can be taken to improve health and wellness, and the ability to contact trained nurses via phone for guidance regarding any health issues.

These programs have proven to reduce inpatient admissions and emergency room visits, and improve the health and productivity of employees and family members.

The programs are voluntary.  Employees will be contacted by Anthem and invited to participate.
