Your health is one of the most important things you have. Why not spend some time on it today to help you stay healthy in the future? Completing a health assessment is a great way to get some insight into your health and learn ways to improve it. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network members have a great way to take charge of their health: The Blue Cross® Health & Wellness online health assessment, powered by WebMD®. Here are five reasons why you should complete the Blue Cross Health & Wellness online health assessment:
  1. It’s quick and convenient. Our health assessment takes only 10 or 15 minutes to complete, and you can take it on your computer, mobile device, or even through the Blue Cross mobile app.
  2. It’s easy to complete. The health assessment asks a variety of basic, easy-to-answer questions about diet, exercise, sleep, medical history and lifestyle factors.
  3. Receive immediate feedback. You’ll receive a health score based on an analysis of your modifiable health risks, plus a list of your highest risks and tailored reports providing additional information about your health risks.
