WELLPOINT, INC. 11
HEALTH. CARE. VALUE.
Sheri Rattleff is both a WellPoint
associate and plan member, and
works as a Talent Acquisition
Consultant in Human Resources.
What’s more, she is a consumer
of her company’s own Healthy
Lifestyle programs, literally “walk-
ing the talk” as she participates
in exercise and fitness classes.
INFORMATION TOOLS FOR LIVING WELL
Throughout our history, WellPoint has empowered
members with valuable resources to help them take
a more active role in their health. Online tools engage
members and help them understand health risks, set
realistic goals and adopt healthier behaviors. Health
coaches reinforce online education regarding nutrition,
smoking cessation, fitness and stress management.
Equipped with this information – and with access to the
nation’s broadest network of health care professionals –
members can improve their health and lower health
care costs today and in the future.
PERSONAL HEALTH CARE GUIDANCE
WellPoint’s 2008 acquisition of Resolution Health, Inc.
added a powerful new tool, MyHealth Advantage, to help
members receive the best care possible. The service
uses sophisticated data analytics to scan individuals’
claims data, lab results and other health information.
It then sends notices about potential drug interactions
and health care improvement opportunities, so that
members, physicians and care managers can take
appropriate action. MyHealth Advantage not only
strengthens patient/physician communication, but also
promotes better compliance with recommended care.
