Introducing IBX Mobile and IBX Healthy Steps, our free smartphone applications for members

October 3, 2011

[

IBC is excited to introduce two new smartphone applications specifically designed for our members: IBX Mobile and the IBX Healthy Steps pedometer. IBX Mobile offers members a convenient, fast, and secure way to access important health information when they need it most. IBX Mobile shows members a streamlined view of ibxpress.com, our consumer website, and takes them directly to the most popular online member tools. Members can use IBX Mobile to do the following:

  • Find a doctor. If you refer one of our members to a specialist, he or she can see whether the specialist is in our provider network and view the address and phone number for the specialist?s office.
  • Check their FSA/HRA account balance. Members can check their account balance anytime, anywhere.
  • View their member ID card. If members forget their member ID card when they?re at an office or facility to receive services, they can use IBX Mobile to show the front and back views of their member ID card.
  • Estimate the cost of prescription drugs. If you write a new prescription for an IBC patient and he or she wants to know how much it will cost them, that information can be found using IBX Mobile.
  • Review their Personal Health Record (PHR). Members who have completed their PHR can look up their family health history and recent health information, providing valuable information for their appointments.

With the IBX Healthy Steps pedometer, members can:

  • customize the application with their gender, height, and weight and learn how many calories they have burned based on how far they travel;
  • save their workouts to see how they?ve improved over time;
  • share their time, distance, and pace with friends and family through Facebook, Twitter, or text messages;
  • calculate their BMI and daily hydration needs.

The IBX Mobile and IBX Healthy Steps applications are available at no cost for IBC members at Apple?s App Store or on the Android Market. Members can also type ?ibxpress.com? into their mobile Internet browser to use IBX Mobile.

We hope you?ll encourage your IBC patients to use these resources to make good decisions about their health, no matter where they are.
