PROGRAM OPTIONS — Fully Insured
Wellness Programs from BCBSND
The North Dakota Wellness Center offers a collection of health management programs and tools available to current BCBSND members. They are available to all fully insured employer groups. It doesn’t cost you anything extra to participate. Contact your employer for more information.
MyHealthCenter
Play a greater role in your health and earn incentives with valuable online tools, information and support from MyHealthCenter. It’s a personalized web site that’s all about your health. Complete an online health risk assessment and determine potential health risks, then create a personalized health program. MyHealthCenter is staffed by a team of health coaches who can help you get fit, eat healthy, quit smoking or manage an existing health problem. It’s a simple web site that provides great information that you can use to stay healthy. It also provides fun incentives to keep you motivated.
Health Club Credit
The Health Club Credit program is a wellness benefit for members on a fully insured plan. Up to two enrolled BCBSND members (one member, if enrolled in single coverage) can each earn up to $20 credit per month for visiting a National Independent Health Club Association (NIHCA)-affiliated health club. Eligible members include the enrolled subscriber and the subscriber’s enrolled spouse, if any, who are both at least 18 years of age. To earn this credit, you must exercise at your health club at least 12 days per month.
Visit NIHCA.org and nominate your health center or to see if your health club participates
Prenatal Plus
Whether it’s a first child or the fifth, early prenatal care is the most important factor in having a safe pregnancy. The Prenatal Plus program can provide you with valuable information and support at no additional cost. Participants complete a screening questionnaire to determine if the pregnancy is higher risk. High-risk participants are referred to their physician. Everyone who participates receives valuable information on pregnancy-related health concerns, and a nurse checks in periodically to answer any questions you might have.
Tobacco Cessation
It’s difficult to break the tobacco habit, but the health benefits are enormous. With a little support, quitting is possible. BCBSND can assist with the costs of office visits and prescription drug costs. Check your Summary Plan Description (SPD) for details.
Member Education
Our Member Education Program helps you hold down the cost of health care by providing health information, free of charge, at your workplace. Our Member Education representatives are ready to visit your worksite to talk about:
- Health care issues
- Health care trends
- Technology costs
- Prescription drug costs
- Our demands on the health care system
- What role the Internet can play
- Benefits of a healthy lifestyle
Presentations may be tailored specifically for your employer-sponsored group. Our schedule is your schedule, and we can meet with employees during lunch hours or after work.
After you’ve had one Member Education meeting at your workplace, BCBSND can provide a monthly set of worksite materials designed to help you with timely, practical and relevant information on a variety of health-related topics. Get a quick look at health issues that impact your everyday life, with facts and figures on everything from child safety seats to secondhand smoke.
Ask your employer to contact the Member Education Representative in your area.
