Can I access the WebMD Portal from home? Yes. You can access the portal from any public or private computer, mobile phone or tablet. Simply type the URL (www.webmdhealth.com/bhy) into your internet browser and log in with your username and password.
Will I lose my WebMD portal access, if I am no longer employed at Baystate? If you are no longer employed or no longer in a “benefits-eligible” employee status, you will lose access to the WebMD portal. However, you can merge your WebMD health record with a WebMD.com consumer account. You must do this while your WebMD portal is still active. Call Baystate Healthy at 413-794-4939 for further instruction.
2. Complete the WebMD Health Questionnaire
After registering for your WebMD portal, completing the online health questionnaire is a great next step. Click on the link to the Health Questionnaire right from the WebMD homepage (in the grey “Action Plan” box). The health questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to complete and includes a series of questions about your health needs, strengths and challenges. Your responses are combined to build your personalized wellness profile. It includes easy to answer questions about your lifestyle behaviors (such as diet, exercise, smoking, stress) and some physical measures (such as height, weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure).
Can I retake the Health Questionnaire if there is a change in my health or lifestyle habits? Yes. You can retake the health questionnaire as often as you need to. If you participate in our voluntary incentive program; MyHealth Rewards, completion of the Health Questionnaire is an annual requirement. Taking the Health Questionnaire at least once a year allows you to see progress over time and provides you with updates to your personalized wellness profile.
