Health & Wellness Overview
BCBSAZ Health Choice wants you and your family to live a healthy life by making smart, healthy choices.
Eating right, exercising, getting shots for your children and following your doctor’s advice are part of living a healthy life. When you adopt a healthy lifestyle, you become a more positive role model for other people in your community and in your family, particularly children. As a parent, your healthy choices will teach your children to make healthy choices starting at a young age.

Health Appraisal
If you are a new member of BCBSAZ Health Choice or if there has been a change to your health care (such as a hospitalization), one of our care coordinators will call you to ask you questions in order to assess your health. After the health appraisal, if the care coordinator finds a health risk that we can help you manage, you may be offered enrollment in a care management program which is designed to help you stay healthy.
If you are receiving services from a Behavioral Health Home, your care team there will help you complete these questions.
