New Programs Help Members Lead Healthier Lives
A complex combination of factors affects each person’s health journey. Some of our members are navigating critical health concerns. They may be struggling to combat chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, substance abuse disorder or depression. Our Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions programs help empower our members to improve their own health and wellness.
Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions
Employers can offer Wellbeing Management and Health Advocacy Solutions to their employees, our members. Members have access to components of these programs depending on their benefit plans. We have relationships with several companies to increase member participation in programs that target critical health issues. We’ve seen positive results.
Options for Member Engagement
Some of your patients with Wellbeing Management or Health Advocacy Solutions may mention Well onTarget®, Livongo®, Omada® and Naturally Slim®. These programs combine data sciences with cognitive behavioral therapy coaching techniques. They often use internet-connected biometric devices to help our members achieve health improvement goals.
Well onTarget
Our Well onTarget Wellness Portal gives eligible members an online platform to find support for chronic conditions. They can also use the portal to help establish lifelong wellness goals.

Livongo is an end-to-end diabetes management solution. It combines the use of a connected glucose meter with personal support by Certified Diabetes Educators.
