Lifestyle Management Coaching

The Lifestyle Wellness portion of the WDM Program is targeted to those Members who are currently healthy, in the early stages of illness, or at-risk for developing chronic illness. Where lifestyle and other preventable causes can be determined, the Program seeks to intervene in order to reduce the risk of a further decline in health status and to improve overall Member health and well-being.

Disease Management Coaching

The Disease Management portion of the WDM Program is targeted to those Members that already manifest one or more of the identified chronic conditions or diseases, and focuses on the clinical management of these disease condition(s).

Scale Back Program

The Scale Back program is aimed primarily at diabetes prevention, but also serves as an effective weight loss program.

Smoking Cessation Programs

CareFirst offers a telephonic Smoking Cessation Program through Sharecare "Craving to Quit".

CVS offers an on-site Smoking Cessation program through the CVS Minute Clinic. The program participation cost is not a covered benefit, however, depending on the Member's insurance plan, prescribed medication may apply to the Member's pharmacy benefit.
