RE:       StayWell Health Management Program

 

New UC employee wellness program launches January 15

 

It's just a few days until the January 15 launch of the new UC wellness and
personal health management benefits program announced during November Open
Enrollment and last month in an At Your Service StayWell News Feature.
(http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/news/health/0712-well_prog_launch.html)

 

The new StayWell program will be available to UC faculty, staff, retirees,
and their family members covered by most UC medical plans (Blue Cross Plus
and PPO, CIGNA Choice Fund, Core, Health Net, and Western Health Advantage).


 

StayWell will not be available to Kaiser members who currently have access
to Kaiser's fully integrated wellness resources.

 

The leadership of several unions at UC - AFSCME 3299, CNA, CUE, SETC, UAW
2863, 

UC-AFT, and UPTE-CWA - have notified the University that they are choosing
not to participate in the StayWell Health Management benefits program on
behalf of their UC bargaining unit members.*

 

Employees and retirees who are eligible to participate in the voluntary
StayWell program should be receiving introductory communications from
StayWell by January 15. You and your eligible family members are encouraged
to consider the many benefits and resources that are available and to check
out the StayWell website. The UC Living Well website (uclivingwell.ucop.edu)
will have a link to the StayWell site as of January 15.

 

Frequently Asked Questions about StayWell are posted online at
http://uclivingwell.ucop.edu/staywell/ and a copy is attached to this
e-mail.  The FAQs describe program features and the privacy provisions that
apply to ensure the security of personal identifying and health information
that participants may provide to StayWell.
