Asthma is a disease of the airways in the lungs that can make it difficult to perform daily activities. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious lung disease that, over time, makes it hard to breathe. The good news is that asthma can be controlled and Optima Health’s team of registered nurses, respiratory therapists and patient service coordinators are here to help you. The team promotes healthy behaviors, provides education, makes suggestions for optimal treatment, serves as a support system, and answers questions about asthma. Members who have been to the hospital several times for their asthma will be eligible to have a home health nurse come and visit them in their home to talk about the possible causes for their asthma and make suggestions for changing the home environment to reduce these triggers.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a common term for the buildup of plaque in the heart’s arteries that could lead to heart attack and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). CHF is a type of heart failure which requires seeking timely medical attention and means that the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should be. By participating in this program you will receive a support system to help keep your CAD and/or CHF under the best possible control.

uPDATE!

BEWell (Beach Employee Wellness) is a voluntary wellness program available to all employees and retirees on the health plan. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve employee health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Por tability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to par ticipate in the wellness program you will be asked to par ticipate in cer tain health-related activities.

If you are an eligible employee or retiree and choose to par ticipate in the wellness program you will be eligible to receive an incentive of up to $500 a year (or up to $125 quar terly) for par ticipating in health-related activities such as:

Completing a health risk assessment or “HRA” that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had cer tain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or hear t disease).

Completing an annual health screening where you will be asked to complete a blood test for glucose and cholesterol levels as well as tests for blood pressure and body mass index (BMI).

Completing online activities like tracking your f itness, sleep or nutrition through compatible trackers.

Turning in proof of a performed cancer screening for a pap, mammogram, prostate, or colorectal exam.

Par ticipating in disease and condition management or tobacco cessation programs.

Although you are not required to par ticipate in the wellness program, only eligible employees and retirees who do so will receive the incentive based upon the number of points earned. If you are unable to par ticipate in any of the health-related activities required to earn an incentive, you may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard. You may request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard by contacting BEWell at 757.263.1060 or email [email protected] .

The information gathered from your par ticipation in the health-related activities listed above will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as targeted outreach for programs that may be of interest to you based on your health status. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.

PRoTECTIonS FRoM DISCLoSuRE oF MEDICAL InFoRMATIon

We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identif iable health information. Although the wellness program and the City of Virginia Beach and Virginia Beach City Public Schools may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identif ied health risks in the workplace, BEWell will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer; except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to par ticipate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identif ies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment.

Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specif ic activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the conf identiality of your health information as a condition of par ticipating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as par t of the wellness program will abide by the same conf identiality requirements. The only entities who will receive your personally identif iable health information are Virgin Pulse, Optima Health and BEWell in order to provide you with services under the wellness program.

In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be encrypted, and no information you provide as par t of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decisions. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately.

You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as par t of par ticipating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to par ticipate.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact Consolidated Benef its Off ice ATTN: BEWell, 2512 George Mason Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23456, call 757.263.1060 or email [email protected] .
