Health and Wellbeing
A holistic perspective on health and wellbeing.
At MCPHS, we take a whole-person, whole-community approach to the physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing of our employees. It’s core to our mission and our institutional DNA, which is why we work tirelessly to provide resources that promote healthy living.
If you are enrolled in one of our medical plans, you can work with a wellness coach to take greater control of your health, choose the right care, get the most from your health plan, and understand complex diagnoses and procedures.
Employees enrolled in one of the MCPHS-sponsored medical plans may also receive assistance from the BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) Care Concierge team of dedicated nurses as well as the following reimbursements:
- Body and Mind Benefit – Reimbursement of up to $300 per policy (family) per calendar year for covered services including massage, hypnosis, qi gong, tai chi, meditation, and mediation and breathing apps.
- Fitness Reimbursement – Reimbursement of up to $500 per policy (family) per calendar year for membership at a gym/health club, virtual classes, or eligible in-home fitness equipment (e.g., treadmill, elliptical).
- Weight Loss Reimbursement – Reimbursement of up to $500 per year per subscriber for up to three months of fees for a qualified weight loss program.
