Ways to save and get the most from your health plan
You just enrolled in a WHA plan and got your I.D. card…now what? Get the most from your health plan – such as discounts and no-cost programs! Here’s how to take advantage of all that’s available to you, and let your health plan work for you, so you can live your healthiest!
- Access all your benefits 24/7—create an online account at myWHA.org.
You’ll be able to track your claims/deductibles, get personalized programs that support your health goals, find the best price on prescription drugs at nearby pharmacies, and of course, search for doctors (mywha.org/directory), urgent care centers, and hospitals that are in your neighborhood. If you don’t have an account, you’ll miss out on savings, programs, and more! - Establish a relationship with your doctor by scheduling an appointment to get any needed treatments, prescription refills, and referrals to specialists. If you need to get in quickly, let them know or schedule a virtual visit, as it may be easier to get to your doctor earlier. For more tips, read “How to get the most out of your checkup.”
- Many of us struggle with feeling anxious or depressed but don’t know how to get help. From diagnosis to treatment, WHA and Optum have partnered to give you access to in-person or virtual specialists/therapists, services, programs, and even facilities (if you need them). Visit mywha.org/bh to access care or browse the Live and Work Well portal. Most importantly: you don’t need a referral to get started and get some peace of mind right away.
- Use your preventive benefits so your doctor can identify issues before they get serious. Your plan includes benefits such as annual checkups, and screenings, as well as flu shots, measles vaccine, and vital cancer screenings – all available at no added cost. For more see mywha.org/preventive.
- Visit myWHA.org/wellness to save money. From fitness discounts to virtual care apps, support for a chronic condition, and enrolling in coaching programs, don’t forget to save up to 50% on wellness products using ChooseHealthy (you must sign up/login first). So much to take charge of that’s good for your health! Go online and enroll in these programs to start living your healthiest life!
