Winning Ideas in Health Plan Wellness and Health Improvement Programs: What’s Working Today to Achieve Member Commitment and Participation

Free personalized online lifestyle-improvement programs, rewards for health plan members who use health management and disease management programs, online health risk assessment and reimbursement for health club membership dues, are among the wellness initiatives that health plans are offering their employees and members.

Many managed care organizations (MCOs) describe themselves as "wellness organizations" in their company literature, but until recently few MCOs had actually offered formal wellness programs to members.

The growth and market adoption of consumer-driven health plans will continue to drive health plans to develop more widespread member health improvement initiatives. In fact, some plans are developing innovative approaches.

Discover what’s working in health plan wellness and health promotion programs, award winning and unique programs, best practices, ROI, and lessons learned in this special audio conference, “Winning Ideas in Health Plan Wellness and Health Improvement Programs: What’s Working Today to Achieve Member Commitment and Participation.” The program was held Tuesday, November 15, 2005.
