New Features

The story of your health is a very important part of your life. It’s one that you can’t ignore if you want to enjoy life to its fullest potential – both personally and financially. Now, UPS gives you two valuable tools to achieve a healthier life – a Health Assessment and a Personal Health Record (PHR) – to help you understand and track your health story – while you take steps to improve it – now and into retirement.*

Your Health Assessment†

Do you truly know your health status, including your health risks? And more important, do you know how to improve your overall health while reducing the risks that can harm you now and in the future? The Health Assessment available through the Simple Steps To A Healthier Life® program, helps you and your covered spouse learn about, understand, and take steps to change a vital piece of your health story: your health risks.‡ Simply answer some online questions about your health history, your diet and your exercise habits. You will receive an immediate personalized report that outlines your health risks and offers suggestions to help you do something about them.

Your Personal Health Record

Your Personal Health Record (PHR) lets you track your entire health story in one place – where you’ve been, where you are and, just as important, where you’re heading.§ Information in your record comes from you and from your health plan carriers.

Information from Your Health Plan Carriers

Your health plan carriers will add any information that comes from your medical claims. That means you’ll always have up-to-date information about any care you receive under your health plan. When you take the Health Assessment, information from the Assessment will also be added to your PHR, making your PHR even more comprehensive and useful.

Information from You

Adding information yourself to your Personal Health Record is completely voluntary. You can record information that only you know – for example, your allergies and any past illnesses. You can even enter notes into the PHR, such as your doctor’s directions, so that you won’t forget important information.

My Personal Health Record: What’s in it for me?

With a fully up-to-date PHR, you can:

• view your whole health story in one place
• receive important health care alerts and reminders
• provide your health care givers access to all your records
• keep vital information readily available in case of an emergency
• take action to live life to the fullest
