Health Coaching

If you would like help managing your diabetes or asthma, you can work with a Health Coach who has a strong background in managing these conditions.  However, being in a program is not a requirement. 

To contact a health coach 24/7/365, call toll-free 1-888-275-1205.

Drug Benefit Available!

Per 30 Day Supply
Generic Drug - 10% to a maximum of $10
Preferred Brand Name Drug - 20% to a maximum of $20

The chronic care benefit is designed to support self-management of asthma and diabetes. Regularly taking your medication along with monitoring peak flows and blood sugar levels is critical to the self-management of asthma and diabetes.

To promote adherence to medication therapy, the coinsurance has been reduced on prescription drug products primarily used for the treatment of asthma and diabetes as indicated above. The Plan retains the final discretionary authority on what constitutes an asthma or diabetic prescription drug product.
