The Partnership Promise
If you choose the Partnership PPO, you must commit to complete the Partnership Promise. The 2013 Partnership Promise builds on previous years.
The 2013 Partnership Promise aims to help healthy members stay healthy and to slow or stop the progression of disease among those currently living with chronic illnesses.

Note: If it is unreasonably difficult because of a medical or mental health condition for you to achieve the standards to fulfill the Partnership Promise, or if it is medically inadvisable for you to attempt to fulfill the Partnership Promise, call our ParTNers for Health Wellness Program at 1.888.741.3390, and they will work with you to develop an alternate way to fulfill the Promise.
A health screening for all members is not required in 2013.

All members enrolled in the Partnership PPO must fulfill the Partnership Promise even if the Partnership PPO is not the primary insurance plan. Children do not have to meet the requirements of the Partnership Promise.
