Chevron Phillips Chemical has engaged ActiveHealth
to coordinate a multi-condition disease management
program as a supplement to all three of our medical
plans. A few of the conditions that ActiveHealth assists
employees and their dependents with, as desired,
are coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure,
hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (high
cholesterol), diabetes, asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
Disease management is an approach to patient care that
seeks to limit “preventable” events by maximizing patient
adherence to prescribed treatments. In short, it teaches
patients how to manage a chronic disease or condition.
If you or an eligible dependent have one of the chronic
conditions mentioned above, a registered nurse from
ActiveHealth may reach out to you by phone. The nurse
will ask you questions about your health or condition to
see if he or she can help. Then, a series of calls between
you and the nurse will be scheduled at your convenience.
These conversations will allow you to discuss your
concerns with the nurse and to educate you so that
you can share with your doctor.
We believe ActiveHealth’s services are mutually beneficial
for employees, dependents and the Company. However,
you may opt out of the program at any time for any
reason. ActiveHealth will typically reach out to you when
you are diagnosed with a designated chronic condition.
If you are not contacted directly, you can self-identify and
contact ActiveHealth yourself to participate.

To help you kick the tobacco habit, Chevron Phillips
Chemical has engaged Alere (formerly Free & Clear), a
national leader in behavioral change programs, to offer
its Quit For Life
®
Program to Chevron Phillips Chemical
employees and their spouses. The step-by-step program,
offered at no charge, helps you quit using tobacco by
teaching you the “4 Essential Practices to Quit For Life”:
•
Quit at Your Own Pace.
Quit on your own terms, but get
the help you need, when you need it.
•
Conquer Your Urges.
Gain the skills you need to control
cravings, urges and situations involving tobacco.
•
Use Medications So They Really Work.
Learn how to
supercharge your quit attempt through the proper use of
nicotine substitutes and medication (program includes
nicotine patches and gum at no extra cost).
•
Don’t Just Quit, Become a Non-Smoker.
Once you’ve
stopped using tobacco, learn never again to have that
“first” cigarette.
The program features phone-based treatment sessions
with a professional tobacco treatment specialist and a
“quit coach” who’ll work with you to develop a tailored
quit plan and provide guidance during the quit process.
In addition, Alere will mail Nicotine Replacement Therapy
directly to your home.
