Disease Prevention Programme
Risk factors for cardiometabolic syndrome include high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol, elevated blood triglycerides, high Body-Mass-Index (BMI) and increased abdominal or waist circumference measures. Members living with one or more of these risk factors have a higher chance of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease and suffering a stroke or heart attack. Engen Medical Benefit Fund now offers a Disease Prevention Programme to support members at risk of developing diabetes to improve health outcomes and quality of life.
This programme and your Premier Plus GP, supported by your Health Coach and a dietitian in our network, will help you actively manage your risk of developing a chronic condition. The programme gives you additional benefits to monitor and manage your health and to ensure you get high-quality coordinated healthcare and improved outcomes.
How to join the Disease Prevention Programme
Our predictive model uses your Health Check results, health claim patterns, family history and other information to determine if you are at risk of developing diabetes. If you meet the Scheme Fund's eligibility criteria for the programme:
- A Health Coach will get in touch with you to explain how the programme works.
- A Premier Plus GP can enrol you on the Disease Prevention Programme through HealthID if you give them consent to do so
