How Regence helps members make lifestyle choices & changes to improve their health.
Sometimes the hardest part of changing our lifestyle habits is just getting started. Good news: health coaches & online wellness programs can help individuals set healthy goals and work toward them-one small step at a time.
“Regence does a lot more than pay medical claims or answer the phone when you call Customer Service,” said Rod Hart, a manager in Regence Behavioral Health and Wellness. “We're here to give members the support they and their families need throughout their lives and at any stage of health.”
“If a member becomes ill or injured, we'll act as an advocate to help them navigate the health care system,” explained Hart. “When they are faced with a pregnancy or chronic condition, we help them understand and take charge of those conditions. And when they are well, Regence works with members to improve and maintain their health and quality of life.”
In this last regard, Regence currently leads the industry in the Health & Wellness trend with two popular offerings: Regence Online Wellness Programs and the Regence Health Coach Program. Both initiatives are devoted to helping individuals make healthy lifestyle choices and changes that improve their health and quality of life.
“For many of us, taking care of ourselves is very much in the moment,” said JoAnne Long, senior vice president of Enterprise Program Management at Regence. “We wake up with a scratchy throat, and take some vitamin C or a cold tablet. We have a painful toothache, and call the dentist for an emergency appointment. The truth is that we'll be healthiest in the long term if we make good health a priority even when we're feeling well.”
