CIGNA - Workplace Partners for Wellness & Good Health

Your Health & Well Being

As part of CIGNA's Workplace Partners for Wellness & Good Health program, CIGNA HealthCare produces a monthly newsletter for customers featuring information on relevant health topics. The July issue of Your Health & Well Being focuses on consumer health and is available at the bottom of this page.

In this age of sophisticated medical technology, health plan jargon, health quackery at every turn, knowing how best to care for your health and the health of your family can be overwhelming.

Dr. Stephen Barret is a consumer health advocate and author of Consumer Health: A Guide to Intelligent Decisions. He defines a wise consumer as someone who:

· Selects health providers with great care

· Undergoes appropriate health screening

· Practices self-care

· Seeks reliable sources of information

· Takes an active role when problems arise

· Is wary of treatments that lack scientific research

· Understand the economic aspects of health care and

· Maintains a healthy lifestyle

 

Let CIGNA help your employees become smart health care consumers with valuable tools from myCIGNA.com. These tools give members the power to reduce personal health risks, choose a hospital based on its reputation, and better understand the differences and similarities of specific generic and brand-name drugs. All are designed to help users take a more active role in their own health care, including having discussions with their doctors. And because myCIGNA.com also gives members access to their personal benefits and claim information – they’ll have even more personal information to make their own decisions.

VACE hopes you find the information in the attached helpful to share with your employees via your intranet or internal publications. If you would prefer a plain text version of the articles (vs. PDF), please let VACE know.
