Support plan member wellness with a wide choice of programs

Getting us involved earlier in claims can help get your employees back to work sooner after medical-related absences. We can identify and address the non-medical reasons that contribute to plan member absence and resolve the situation before it progresses.

Our range of wellness services gives you access to expert tips and strategies to reduce the number of long-term disability claims among your plan members:

Wellness Now™ Online

• Questionnaires to evaluate lifestyle habits
• An electronic personal health record
• Health library
• Goal setting tools

Wellness Now Prevention and Assistance Services

This service, also free of charge, is a series of integrated programs to help plan sponsors and plan members address plan member health, absenteeism and presenteeism.

Wellness Now Insights

Depending on the type and amount of information you need about your plan members, this program is available as either a free service or a fee-based version.

Option 1: No charge program

You’ll receive a series of email templates to send to your plan members to encourage them to complete the Wellness Assessment on Wellness Now™ Online.

The assessment gives plan members their unique wellness profile based on the information they’ve provided (e.g. lifestyle, medical history, stress, etc.). The profile includes information about their health risk factors, tips and tools to make manageable changes, and the benefits associated with the positive choices they’ve already made.

If a minimum of seven plan members complete the online assessment during the campaign period, which typically runs two to four weeks, you will receive a free aggregate report highlighting the main areas of risk for your workforce. You can use this information to develop health campaigns that address the specific risks and needs of your group.

Option 2: Fee-based program

If you’d like more in-depth information about the health and wellness of your workforce, you can purchase an enhanced campaign package that includes:

• customized reporting
• a review of the report package by our wellness partner
• revisions to the wellness assessment
• a tailored approach to the delivery and promotion of the employee email campaign

Employee Assistance Program

Purchase the Posaction Employee and Family Assistance Program for your benefits plan. It offers your plan members confidential counselling to help them deal with a variety of issues affecting health, family, work performance and more.

Worldcare

Second Opinion Consult gives plan members access to a second-opinion assessment from medical specialists at top North American hospitals. Available for a fee.
