When you’re not feeling like yourself, it’s good to have a team of friends and family to help. But where do you turn when you need support and expertise? Many people don't know that some health insurance plans offer up personal health professionals to help you navigate the healthcare space and design a plan to become your healthiest, happiest self. These experts are available to work one-on-one with you to establish a baseline and set realistic goals. They can provide personalized guidance, education and resources. Additionally, they will follow up with you based on your personal needs and preferences--all included in your health insurance package. Check your health insurer’s website, as some plans now offer personalized services from Health Coaches, Personal Nurses and pharmacy support personnel. These providers typically work remotely and can meet with you (very often over the phone or perhaps by email) to establish goals. Common goals include weight loss, smoking cessation, stress management and dietary changes. In some cases, these services are included with your insurance plan, and check-ins are scheduled at regular intervals for accountability, encouragement and advice. Keep in touch with a coach through email, telephone calls or instant messaging and gain access to tracking tools, calendars, assessments and content to help you understand and manage your health. Contact your health insurance provider to tap into your own personal team of health experts today! Still on the fence? See how much these health experts have helped others just like you!
