Health & Wellness Programs
Whole Health Dimensions
Whole Health
Dimensions is Wellmark's comprehensive suite of wellness and health management
programs focused on helping your employees lead healthier lives — wherever
they are along the health spectrum from wellness to illness.
According to a recent survey:1
- Preventable illnesses
make up approximately 70 percent of the total costs of illness.
- Companies
with a health and productivity strategy actually boost their bottom
line.
- In particular, organizations that
invest
in multiple best practices
and integrate health and productivity programs are reducing
costs and lost time (both the rate and the duration of
absences) as well as improving employee health.
Whole
Health Dimensions is standard with Wellmark's health plans for fully
insured groups and
available for self-funded groups to purchase. This integrated solution
includes:
- Personal Health Assistant 24/7. Registered nurses and other
health professionals are available 24/7 via phone to connect your
employees to the health care help they need.
- Decision support. Provides employees with information, services,
and tools to help them make wise health care choices.
- Wellness services. Helps
employees and their families develop healthier behaviors. Available
programs include a Personal Health Assessment and online programs based
on results, onsite health screenings, worksite program
delivery, and telephonic coaching for
employees who may be at special risk or need extra help improving their
health.
- Pharmacy management. Offers full-service pharmacy benefits
management, making sure prescriptions are safe and effective, and keeping
drug costs down.
- Utilization management. Focuses on delivering the right
care, at the right time and place, to provide the best value for your
