Deep breathing raises levels of blood oxygen, promoting health in many ways – from stimulating the digestive process to improving fitness and mental performance

MODA ID CARDS IN THE MAIL?
Moda has sent new ID cards to members who either added or dropped dependents during open enrollment.  They are not automatically sending out new ID cards to all members.  Old cards still will work as our member ID and group numbers have stayed the same. 

If you would like a new medical or dental card, please log on to myModa and select “Request ID cards” from the member shortcuts panel. (see article on back page for digital option)  You also can contact Moda Health Customer Service at 1-866-923-0409

MODA MEDICAL HOME 
Effective Oct. 1, 2013, you have access to a new tier of network providers.  The Moda Medical Home consists of local primary care providers who deliver high-quality, individualized care and integrated support.  When you seek care from a Moda Medical Home provider you will receive a higher benefit level.  More information on participating providers can be found at modahealth.com/oebb.

DIGITAL MODA HEALTH ID CARD
Moda Health now provides you the convenience of a digital member ID card.  Why is a digital card better than your old-school paper card?

• One less thing to carry in your wallet.  By accessing your digital ID card, you don’t have to keep the paper version in your wallet anymore.
• Large family?  Instead of sharing a card, every family member can download your Moda Health ID card.
• Online means up-to-date.  As soon as your account with Moda Health is updated, your digital ID card is updated. 
• You can email a copy of the card to your providers or your family members.
• You can print copies to give to your providers.

To get started, bring up the Moda Health website for OEBB members:  https://www.modahealth.com/oebb/members/

All members:  To access a PDF of your Moda Health ID card, log in to myModa.  Enter your user name and password in the myModa login box on the right side of the screen.

Once logged into myModa, you can access your digital card from the member shortcuts box on the myModa homepage, or the “resources” tab.

While in myModa you could opt to sign up for electronic EOBs.  Stop all that paper coming to your house by updating your EOB delivery preference. Once in myModa, click on your “account” tab and “change account settings”.

Smartphone users:  If you’re a smartphone user, you can download your ID card from the Moda Health mobile ID card app.  To search for your app, visit your app store and type “Moda Health eCard app” into your search.  To launch the app, enter your mobile PIN code and member ID (these can be found on the PDF version of your ID card in myModa, see above). Your Moda Health ID card will appear on your phone.  Using the Moda Health ID card app, you can e-mail or fax a copy to providers or e-mail a copy to family members.

If you have questions or need technical assistance, please call Moda Health customer service at 866-923-0409.

HEALTHY FUTURES
Healthy Futures is a new program designed to encourage OEBB members to learn their individual health risks and how to take action to reduce or eliminate risks whenever possible. 

If you signed up for the program and are ready to get started you’ll need to complete your confidential online health assessment – you can do this anytime between now and May 31, 2014.  If you have a spouse/domestic partner who also signed up to participate, he/she will also need to complete the assessment.  Go to modahealth.com/oebb and log into your myModa account (same as your former myODS account), or register for a new account, then click “Health Risk Assesment (HRA)”

Once you know your risks, you can get started on your wellness activities.  You can find detailed Healthy Futures information on the OEBB website:  http://www.oregon.gov/oha/oebb/pages/HealthyFutures.aspx. 

If you didn’t sign up and would like to participate, it’s not too late.  You can log into the MyOEBB system (https://myoebb.org/oebb/!pb.main) anytime between now and March 31, 2014 and indicate “YES – I want to participate in Healthy Futures!” 

HAVE A LAUGH!
Make laughter a part of your life.  It exercises the lungs and lowers your heart rate and blood pressure.  And remember, laughter can be contagious.  Pass it on!
