Health and wellness programs and education for Medi‑Cal members
Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan wants to help keep you and your family healthy. We believe that the more you know, the better you can manage your health.
We have programs and services to help you stay active and fit, manage chronic conditions like diabetes, keep a healthy weight, and eat healthy. We can also help you find classes, counseling, and support groups.
We’ve partnered with Solera Health to offer you a diabetes prevention program. There is no cost to you. This program helps you learn how to make small changes to your daily routine to be more active and eat healthier.
If you qualify for this program, you will meet with a health coach and small group for support online or at a site near you.
We hope you will take this chance to make a lasting effect on your health. If you have any questions, please call Solera Health at (866) 692-5059 [TTY: 711], 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
