Blueprint for Wellness Resources

Blueprint for Wellness registration is now open. Participants can schedule an appointment at a Quest Diagnostics facility any time before July 31 to earn $100 PulseCash. These materials are available to help you promote Blueprint for Wellness.

Use the Eblasts to create awareness with your participants, and the Event Checklist to get a head start on planning if you are hosting an onsite event. There are also social posts on the Wespath Facebook and Twitter pages for you to easily share with your audiences. Be on the lookout for the Blueprint for Wellness survey. Once we receive your completed survey, we will create communications for your participants with details about your onsite events.

With any questions about Blueprint for Wellness, contact the Wespath Well-Being Team at wellnessteam@wespath.org.

WW Changes for 2020

There is a new dedicated WW (Weight Watchers) page for HealthFlex participants: www.ww.com/us/healthflex. Participants will register with their first and last name (as listed on their HealthFlex ID card) and their date of birth (xx/xx/xxxx format) with no spaces. Participants will also need their credit card number. WW fees are now re-occurring on a monthly basis and participants' credit card will be automatically billed every month until they cancel. HealthFlex will continue to pay 50% of the membership fees. Please share this flier which contains all of the updated details.

New Dedicated Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Team

There is a new dedicated team at Optum Health who has been trained specifically to assist HealthFlex members and their families. The dedicated team has a new phone number: 1-866-881-6800. The EAP can also be accessed online on the HealthFlex/WebMD website, at "My HealthFlex Benefits" and then "Counseling - Support Resources - EAP". Please update your web pages and other resources that mention the EAP with the new number.

Well-Being Program FAQs

The 2020 Well-Being Program FAQs are now available on under the "HealthFlex Details and FAQs" section of HealthFlex/WebMD. These FAQs detail the updates mentioned above to the EAP and WW programs, and highlight some new ways for participants to earn Wellness Points. Please update any web links you may have to the Well-Being Program FAQs and share this resource with your participants. A mailing kicking off 2020 Well-Being programs will be sent directly to participants in mid-January.
