The Basics (continued)
Why offer this program? Conditions like hypertension, prediabetes, and high cholesterol impact nearly half of all American adults. By partnering with Omada, you can offer at-risk individuals the help they need to proactively manage their health and work towards positive outcomes.
Eligibility
Who is eligible for Omada? Omada is available to people who are at risk for type 2 diabetes or heart disease. The program focuses on weight loss through nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral change. Potential participants can determine their risk of prediabetes or heart disease by taking the 1-minute health screener. Are family members eligible for Omada? Yes, adult family members (who are 18 years and older) covered under the company’s Cigna health plan and meet the clinical enrollment criteria are eligible for Omada. Does a participant have to be diagnosed with prediabetes to participate? No—in fact, 90% of people with prediabetes don’t even know they have it, according to the CDC. Omada focuses on weight loss through modest lifestyle changes, and is beneficial for people who want to lose weight, including those who have been diagnosed with prediabetes or who are otherwise at risk for diabetes. Potential participants can determine their risk of prediabetes by taking the 1-minute health screener. If an employee already has type 2 diabetes, can they still join the Omada program? No, the program being offered is designed to specifically address the needs of at-risk individuals. Employees who are currently living with type 2 diabetes should inquire with their benefits/HR team to determine what other programs are available. What if an employee is not at risk of a chronic disease, but wants to lose a little bit of weight? To ensure maximum impact, Omada is designed to specifically address the needs of individuals at risk for chronic disease. Employees who do not qualify should inquire with their benefits/HR team to determine what other programs are available. What happens if a participant leaves their company or decides to get new benefits at open enrollment or due to a life change? Their participation in the Omada program is funded by their employer or health plan. If a participant leaves their company, Omada will give them the opportunity to stay in the program on a self pay basis. If they change benefits at their current employer, the Omada program may still be available. Participants should inquire with their benefits/HR team to determine if Omada is still available through their new benefits offering. Sign-up, cost, and getting started How much does it cost participants? Nothing—their employer will cover the entire cost of the program for employees and adult dependents who are on the company medical plan offered through Cigna, meet certain risk criteria for type 2 diabetes or heart disease, and are accepted into the program.
