Condition Management / Wellness Programs
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma and BlueLincs HMO are dedicated to helping members with chronic conditions maintain a higher quality of life. This is done through a series of free programs designed to educate and empower members with diabetes, asthma, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, migraines or hypertension.
Studies have shown that people who take part in condition management/wellness programs have fewer medical complications, resulting in:
- Fewer emergency room visits
- Fewer urgent doctor visits
- Fewer days missed at work or other activities
- More of the recommended screenings and lifestyle changes
Better health means lower medical costs for members.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma works to identify members with chronic conditions as early as possible. Early identification allows our case managers to help members learn good self-care habits and the importance of regular medical care.
Components of condition management/wellness programs can include:
- Personal contact with a nurse case manager
- Coordination with member's physician
- Educational materials
Important note: The condition management/wellness programs are not available for all self-funded groups. Check with your employer for more details.
