Advocate’s Integrated Health Advocacy ProgramSM—IHAP®—is a holistic team approach to health care designed to help you and your dependents cope with challenging or continuing health problems by partnering with you to improve your overall health and life status.

Important! IHAP will identify associates and/or family members who may benefit from participation in the program. If you or a covered family member meets the criteria for participation, you will be notified by mail. You can nominate yourself or a family member for participation in the program, subject to approval by IHAP. Participation in the program is completely voluntary and strictly confidential.

The IHAP Team is an integrated multi-disciplinary group of experienced health care professionals that includes a:
Primary Advocate who will guide you—as a personal health coach—through the IHAP process, review program-related information with you and answer any questions you may have.
Behavioral Advocate who will review your life and family history and will identify—and help you and your family cope with—any stress factors in life.
Medical Advocate who will conduct a thorough physical exam and review personal health history, including available health records.

The members of your IHAP team will apply their combined skills to evaluate your condition and—working with your current providers—develop a plan to treat you as a whole person by taking into consideration all of your health-related needs.

IHAP’s goal is to facilitate the healing process and promote optimum long term health. In this way, it presents a unique opportunity for Advocate to support your needs when you are coping with serious health problems while, at the same time, assisting Advocate in maintaining an affordable health care benefit program by keeping associates and family members who participate in the program as healthy as possible.

The advantages of participating in IHAP
When you participate in IHAP:

You are an active participant in managing your personal health
You receive a comprehensive review of your health history
You have health goals based on your personal health history (not a generic plan)
You have the opportunity to move from a chronic health condition to a lifestyle that nurtures wellness, and 
You receive health care based on a holistic approach that takes into account all of your health care needs… not just those traditionally covered by your insurance.

IHAP… Working with you, working for you
IHAP is not intended to replace treatment that you may currently be receiving. Rather, it is designed to provide assistance that can help you deal more effectively with the health care system and to cope more effectively with challenging or continuing health care conditions.
