FAQs from WHOI employees
Question Who actually does the PHA
evaluation? BCBSMA has contracted with WebMD to
administer the PHA. Question Are they going to
check up on people who complete the PHA? If you
opt-in to share you data, you could be triaged
into one of our disease management programs. You
can decline participation in these programs at
any time. Question Will WHOI and/or BCBSMA see
the results of the PHA? WHOI will only see PHA
results on the aggregate level, no individual
results will be shared. BCBSMA will see your
individual results to allow us to identify people
who may benefit from our Health Management
programs (Blue Health Coach, Disease Management,
and Case Management).
