Schedule your comprehensive wellness assessment today!

All Peoples Health plan members are eligible for a comprehensive wellness assessment.

• New plan members receive an assessment within the first 90 days of their enrollment.
  • Depending on your health status (for example, if you have multiple long-term health conditions), your primary care physician may suggest that you receive an assessment annually. You also have the option to request one each year. You can do so by contacting Customer Service.
• Peoples Health special needs plan members (those with both Medicare and Medicaid) receive an assessment every year they are enrolled in a special need plan.

The comprehensive wellness assessment is a no-cost benefit for you—you pay no copay or coinsurance for it. It’s a chance for you to meet one-on-one with a provider, who will collect important information about your health status. During the assessment:

• The provider—
  • Talks with you about your medical history, current treatments and medications
  • Checks your heart, lungs and blood pressure (no invasive procedures are performed)
  • Gives you a checklist of topics—including the preventive screenings you need—to discuss with your primary care physician
  • Helps you establish or update your personal health goals
• You can ask any health questions you may have

You may also invite a family member or friend to be with you for the assessment.

We want you to have your comprehensive wellness assessment in a way that is most convenient to you. That’s why we work with you to help you choose the best option. For instance, you may be able to receive it:

• At a Peoples Health Service Center*
• In your home through an in-person visit
• Via telehealth

No matter where you decide to have it, there is no cost to you. It takes about an hour or a little longer to complete. The assessment is personalized for you, so the length of time depends on the detail of your medical history and the special topics and questions we discuss with you.

Your primary care physician has access to information from your assessment.

Our goal is to help you understand and manage your health. The comprehensive wellness assessment helps you:

• Understand your medications and which ones you need to take
• Understand any long-term health conditions you may have
• Learn about preventive steps you can take
• Set personal health goals

The assessment does not replace any appointments you have scheduled with your doctors or the care you receive from your doctors. We also want to make it easier for you to provide information that Peoples Health and your primary care physician need to know about your health to coordinate your care. Your primary care physician can use the information you share to develop and monitor your care plan.
