Just wondering if anyone is currently doing the I can change program through Tufts Health...

I met with my PCP on monday and she filled out the paperwork for the i can change program - is anyone currently doing it or has done it that can tell me more about it :)

thanks!

Hi there,
I started it in March and finish in September.  It's a breeze, and kind of a joke.  You must set and achieve 2 goals during the 6 months, and they can be just about anything - lower your portions of carbs, give up soda, whatever.  One of mine was to give up eating the skin on chicken.  You talk to your coach on the phone once per month and they send you a pamphlet to read.

You can PM anytime to ask specific questions!

Thanks so much!! the ironic part?  I actually work for THP and used to work in the dept that does the prior auths. . ROFL

:)

see if you can't pull and "employee benefit" and see if they will give you a pass on the 6 mos. Can't hurt to ask!

Hi Amanda!  I completed the I Can Change program last year, and I agree with notCasey, its a joke, i didnt lose one pound and didnt learn anything i didnt already know and believe me i tried to get out of even participating in it my PCP wrote Tufts a letter on my behalf and everything but they forced me to participate so i did and finally had my surgery 1/29/08.  So just do what they ask and it will make it worth it in the end.

Good Luck!
