A comprehensive health website powered by WebMD®, BeHealthy.com provides Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama members with up-to-date information about illnesses, conditions and the latest health news.  Members also get access to health trackers, calculators and assessments, and they can personalize the site to fit their needs.  Among the available resources:

  • HealthQuotientTM (HQ) - After taking this health assessment, members get an immediate, personalized online report showing an overview of their current health status and ways to reduce health risks.  In 2007, the Plan logged 13,799 HQ completions; in 2008, that number grew to 21,694.
  • LifeStyle Solutions - These six-week, Web-based health courses offer step-by-step assistance to help members change unhealthy behaviors and make better health choices.  Participants can choose one of 14 courses or engage in the program personally recommended for them by the HealthQuotient.
  • Personal Health Record (PHR) - The PHR allows members to keep all their health information in one secure, centralized location.  Information can be entered manually, and members can choose for data to be automatically added from two years of processed claims. Members may also choose to share their PHR with their providers.
  • Blue 365SM - This program offers discounts and savings from selected companies on products and services for a healthy lifestyle.  Areas where members can find savings include weight loss programs, fitness programs and other health-related services that address members' unique needs.
  • Interactive Web Tools - Members have access to health trackers, the latest health news, a symptom checker, a treatment cost estimator and an Rx Benefit Manager. Members also have access to online message boards, which are expert-moderated and cover a wide variety of health topics.
