When you become a Healthy Howard Health Plan member, you will be matched with a Health Coach who will help you maximize your potential health and wellness.

You will work with your Health Coach to develop a Health Action Plan that will include goals and objectives for improving your health and well-being.

Your plan may include goals like “try out a 60 day free membership for the Columbia Association gyms” or “take a lunch to work two days per week.” However, your plan will be personalized to fit your individual health needs and lifestyle.

Soon after your first doctor’s visit, you will meet with you Health Coach and start on your Health Action Plan. Each plan lasts six months, but your coach will check in with you at regular times during the six months. After the plan is completed, you will meet with your Health Coach to start a new plan.

Three months after you start a Health Action Plan, you will meet with your Health Coach to discuss your progress. Depending on your progress, you may need to meet with your Health Coach more frequently.

Health coaching is a required part of the Healthy Howard Health Plan. It is important to make you best effort on your Health Action Plans in order to stay a member.
