A: It’s a series of health-related questions that you answer online. It takes 20 to 45 minutes to complete. If you prefer to complete and return a paper version of the Health Questionnaire, contact the StayWell HelpLine at 1-888-343-9862 to request one be sent to you.

Your answers are completely confidential. Individual responses are tabulated by a third-party vendor and will not be shared with BP. Only aggregated data will be sent to BP.

You’ll receive a personalized report that gives you a snapshot of your health and helps you identify risk factors and areas you should focus on to improve or maintain your health.

Q: What will BP do with the aggregate data? How is that information helpful to the company?

A: The aggregate data will help BP better understand the health risks our employee and retiree populations face, such as heart disease and diabetes. The information will be helpful in determining future programs.

The aggregate data will not be used to disqualify employees/retirees from any BP benefits.

Q: Will I earn wellness points for completing the Health Questionnaire?

A: No points are awarded for completing the Health Questionnaire. However, you must complete the Health Questionnaire each year to be eligible for the HealthPlus Option in the BP Medical Plan. After you’ve completed the Health Questionnaire, you can earn points by participating in the BP wellness programs.

You and your spouse/domestic partner (if applicable) are each required to complete the Health Questionnaire by March 2, 2012 if you want to enroll in the HealthPlus Option for the 2012/2013 plan year. In addition, both you and your covered spouse/domestic partner (if applicable) must each earn 1,000 points by December 31, 2012 in order to be eligible for the HealthPlus Option for the following plan year.

Q: If I don’t complete the Health Questionnaire during annual enrollment, can I complete it during the year?

A: Yes, but, if you don't complete the Health Questionnaire before the end of the enrollment period, you won't be eligible to enroll in the HealthPlus Option in the BP Medical Plan.

Confidentiality

Q. What happens to my health information after I've completed the Health Questionnaire?

A. Results from all completed Health Questionnaires will be aggregated by a trusted third-party vendor. The aggregated data will be shared with BP to help us better understand the health trends within our employee and retiree populations and will help us plan for future health programs.

Individual responses will not be shared with BP or other vendors (e.g., Aon Hewitt, medical plan providers).

Q: How is my health information stored?

A: Your responses to the Health Questionnaire are stored in the online system to make it easy for you to update your health information throughout the year.

Q: How can I be sure my health information is protected?

A: In addition to our own strict privacy practices, BP — and our health care partners — must all follow U.S. federal privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). For more information on HIPAA, please refer to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/.

As well, below are helpful links to the BP Code of Conduct, Data Privacy Rules and the Fair Processing Statement. BP works with its vendors to make sure our relationships comply with all of these policies:

Process for Completing

Q: When and where will the Health Questionnaire be available?

A: The Health Questionnaire is available beginning February 6, 2012. You can access it via the homepage of LifeBenefits, using any computer with access to the Internet. You’ll need your Benefits Center User ID and Password. Employees/retirees should click on the employee/retiree button to be taken to StayWell Online.

Employees/retirees who want to enroll in the HealthPlus Option for the 2012/2013 plan year must complete the questionnaire by 11:59 p.m. Central time on March 2, 2012.

Q. Can my spouse/domestic partner complete the Health Questionnaire?

A. Yes. All spouses/domestic partners of BP employees and non-Medicare eligible retirees are invited to complete the Health Questionnaire. In fact, spouses/domestic partners must complete a Health Questionnaire between February 6 and March 2, 2012 in order to be eligible for the HealthPlus Option for 2012/2013.

Spouses/domestic partners access the Health Questionnaire via the homepage of LifeBenefits, using any computer with access to the Internet. Click on the spouse/domestic partner button to be taken to StayWell Online.

Q: Why do I have to click through so many web pages to access the Health Questionnaire?

A: There are several steps required for accessing the Health Questionnaire. Each step is necessary to ensure that you receive "credit" for completing the Health Questionnaire to be eligible for the HealthPlus Option. And, these steps help us keep your personal information private and protected.

Q: Can I complete the Health Questionnaire by phone?

A: No. It’s available online only. However, if you do not have access to a computer at work or at home, call the StayWell HelpLine at 1-888-343-9862 to request a printed copy. The paper version must be completed and postmarked no later than March 2, 2012. The online method is preferred.

Q. Do I need specific health information to complete the Health Questionnaire?

A. Completing the Health Questionnaire does not require you to know your detailed health history. Knowing the following numbers, which you can get from a routine physical exam, will help strengthen your results, but you can still complete the Health Questionnaire even if you do not have all the information:

Measurements: height, weight (BMI)
Blood pressure
Cholesterol: HDL, LDL, Triglycerides

If there's a question you cannot answer, just answer "not sure." You can return to the Health Questionnaire at any time throughout the year to update your answers and health information.

Q. If I start the Health Questionnaire but need to stop, can I save my answers and come back later to finish it?

A. Yes. Click either the "End Assessment" or "Logout" buttons located at the bottom of the left side menu. This will ensure that your answers are saved. But remember, you must complete the Health Questionnaire by March 2, 2012 in order to be eligible for the HealthPlus Option.

Q: Can I print my questionnaire results?

A: Yes. Just click the printer icon on the last page of the assessment.

Q: How can I confirm that I received “credit” for completing the Health Questionnaire and that I’m eligible to enroll in the HealthPlus Option?

A: When you enroll via the online BP Benefits Center, you will see HealthPlus as one of your enrollment options (if you are eligible). Note: Employees/retirees who have not completed the Health Questionnaire or who are otherwise ineligible will not see HealthPlus listed.

Q: I have some questions about my personal health assessment, who can I talk to about it?

A: StayWell Health Advisors can review your Health Questionnaire results and answer any questions you may have. Health Advisors are available Monday – Thursday from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Central time, Fridays from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., Central time and Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. – noon, Central time.
