Virtual Physical Therapy Benefit Communication Campaign
The virtual in-home physical therapy benefit was introduced in July for COVA Care and COVA HDHP members. In an effort to increase awareness and engagement of this new virtual in-home physical therapy benefit, a direct email and mail campaign will begin on October 17 to give members more details of this exciting new benefit.
LiveHealth Online Thrive: Healthy Back & Joints and Bloom powered by SWORD offers virtual in-home physical therapy that is effective, convenient, and addresses a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions and pelvic health issues. The programs leverage motion tracking sensors and a smart tablet, that are shipped to the member, and licensed physical therapists will provide custom exercise plans and education, continuous engagement, and behavioral health resources.
COVA Care and COVA HDHP members (age 18 and older) will receive several direct mailer and email communications promoting the Thrive Healthy Back & Joints program, and female members will receive information on the Bloom program, which is the pelvic health physical therapy program. Members can opt out of the emails by clicking on the opt-out link at the bottom of the email if they want to stop receiving communications.
There is no cost to participate for COVA Care and COVA HDHP members.
