Personal Health Assessment, PHA

Taking Your Personal Health Assessment!

The Kentucky Employees Health Plan, in partnership with Humana and Gordian Health Solutions, provides every covered member with the opportunity to complete a Personal Health Assessment (PHA) that allows them to evaluate their current health status.  The PHA acts as a comprehensive report card for members health habits and lifestyle.  For example, it asks questions about physical activity level, family history, seat belt usage, and stress level. 
 
The information you provide for your PHA generates a personalized report that is strictly confidential.  Neither the Commonwealth nor your employer will ever see your individual results.  Humana will use this report, along with your medical claims history, to determine if you would benefit from a Disease Management Program.  Humana will provide the Commonwealth with summary data from the completed PHAs with no identifying personal information.  The PHA also offers you a one-time assessment from a health coach that can help you understand your report.  Based on your responses to the questions, the PHA can evaluate your risk for medical conditions.  It will also provide you with information to discuss with your physician, as well as web site links to other resources that provide further assistance.

It only takes about 15 minutes to complete this assessment and the benefits can last a lifetime.  Take this opportunity to gauge your health status and learn how to achieve wellness: mind, body and spirit!

How to Take Your Personal Health Assessment:

Important:  Most internet users have turned on the program that will block pop-up windows.  In order to take the PHA, you must disable the pop-up blocker.  To disable the blocker, open the internet, click on “Tools” on the menu bar, then “Pop-up Blocker”, then “Turn off Pop-up Blocker”.  Remember to turn this back on when you have completed the PHA.
