The health risk assessment (HRA), also known as a health risk appraisal, serves as a valuable tool for gathering health-related information, often supplemented with biometric testing, to evaluate an individual’s health status, potential risks, and behaviors. Its primary purpose is to identify members with high-risk healthcare needs and establish a baseline health status for care management. When used independently, an HRA might not lead to significant health improvements or cost reductions. However, its true potential emerges when it becomes an integral part of a comprehensive program designed to engage patients in their well-being, influence lifestyle choices, and promote preventive measures. In such cases, HRAs can be remarkably effective. Additionally, HRAs are incorporated within Medicare Advantage’s care coordination model.
