The WebMD HealthQuotient™ Health Assessment
The first step in supporting a healthy lifestyle is to understand your current health status and risks. The HealthQuotient is a private and secure online or paper form health assessment that uses scientifically determined calculations to give you information you can use to prevent or manage potentially serious or chronic health problems. It only takes about 15 minutes to complete. Just answer a few simple questions about your health, lifestyle, and family history. If you use the online HealthQuotient, you will receive an easy to understand report within minutes that highlight your individual health risks along with detailed and personalized plan to help you improve any health area(s) that may need attention.
Once WebMD notifies the University’s Benefits Department that you have completed the HealthQuotient, you will receive a discount of up to $40 per month off the cost of your health care monthly premium (if your health care monthly premium is less than $40 the discount you receive will be equal to your premium amount). You may take the HealthQuotient online at any time to receive the discount. You will receive the discount beginning with the pay period following the date the Benefits Department is notified by WebMD that you completed the HealthQuotient.
WebMD Telephonic Health Coaching-Bringing Help Within Reach
After you take the HealthQuotient you will receive an overall wellness score. Based on your score, you may qualify for the coaching program. You will receive a notice from WebMD if your score reflects that coaching sessions would be beneficial to your current health needs. Coaching sessions are optional and are not required to continue participation.
Health coaching takes place with one of WebMD’s qualified, friendly, and experienced health coaches. You will be able to discuss the results of your HealthQuotient with your coach and set personal goals for better health. Your coach will work with you to find ways to improve your lifestyle behaviors, reduce health risk factors, and increase your overall well-being. You can also receive self-help materials to complement the coaching sessions, and support your improvement efforts.
