Online health assessment helps your patients identify their health risks

Looking for a tool that can help your patients pinpoint their health risks?

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s online health assessment on the Blue Cross® Health & Wellness website can provide you with the support you need. It gives our members an easy and convenient way to see how their lifestyle choices affect their health and find out more about their modifiable health risks.

When your patients with Blue Cross coverage take the health assessment, they receive immediate feedback. It includes a results report that explains their risk levels, recommendations and referrals that provide them with an easy first step into action and a health risk score that helps encourage positive changes. They can print this information to share with you. This is a great way for you to get a snapshot of your patients’ health risks so you can work with them on ways to lower those risks.

The health risk score is derived from an analysis of their modifiable health risks. These include:

  • Alcohol use
  • Blood pressure
  • Blood sugar
  • Cholesterol
  • Emotional health
  • Exercise
  • Nutrition
  • Sleep
  • Stress
  • Tobacco use
  • Weight

The Blue Cross health assessment uses engaging graphics and easy-to-read questions that guide our members through a series of modules that assess various aspects of their lifestyle, health conditions, well-being and more. It also asks questions that assess a member’s readiness to make changes. Members are asked to input various biometric screening results; Blue Cross members who use the qualification form or attend a Blue Cross worksite health screening event will have their test results automatically uploaded into the health assessment.

Fast and easy to use
The health assessment only takes a few minutes to complete, and it’s intuitive and user-friendly. Your patients with Blue Cross coverage can take the health assessment on their computers or mobile devices through their member account on bcbsm.com or they can take it using the Blue Cross mobile app. The Blue Cross health assessment is powered by WebMD® and is NCQA-accredited.
