 | Heart failure; |
| Coronary artery disease; |
| Diabetes; |
| Asthma, and |
| Chronic obstruction pulmonary disease. |
As a result, you can receive free educational information through the mail, and you can directly access a health advocate resource who can help you manage your condition.
The disease management program offers:
| Education and guidance on how to manage your condition; |
| Information on healthy lifestyle options, including proper nutrition, medication management, exercise, and how to quit smoking; |
| One-on-one support via a toll-free number from a registered nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week; |
| Speech recognition teaching modules; |
| An interactive website; and |
| Educational booklets. |
Participation is completely voluntary and free. If you think you may be eligible to participate or would like additional information regarding the program, call the claims administrator at the phone number listed on your medical ID card.
