What can the Live Healthy Team do for you?

The path to good health is rarely a straight line. Setbacks and slip-ups happen, whether you’re trying to eat healthier, manage a health condition, overcome alcohol or substance use concerns, or just get through a stressful life event. To help you get back on track, the Live Healthy Team is here for mainland employees enrolled in the Aetna® medical plan.

Employees in Puerto Rico and Hawaii also have access to health support. See below for some examples, including the Costco Tobacco & Nicotine Cessation Program to help employees quit tobacco and nicotine. 

Find and get help when you need it


Your dedicated Live Healthy Team coach can connect you with one-on-one health support from medical professionals, resources, care and other benefits that meet your unique needs. Here are some ways they can help:

  • Registered nurses offer education, coordinate care — including finding in-network providers accepting new patients — and help guide you through any steps around claims. 
  • Clinical pharmacists review, manage and provide education on your medications. 
  • Behavioral health clinicians help you navigate mental health resources, get treatment for alcohol or substance use concerns, and manage stressful life events. 
  • Registered dietitians can develop meal and nutrition plans for managing chronic conditions and reaching health goals. They also show how what you eat affects how you feel physically and mentally. They can even help with fitness goals, like wanting to build more muscle. To connect with a registered dietitian, call the Live Healthy Team or complete the Registered Dietitian Form.
