In preparation for the upcoming enhancements, we will be transitioning Health Risk Assessment (HRA) services away from our third party administrator, WebMD. The WebMD HRA will no longer be available to members after August 31, 2012. From September 1–December 31, 2012, we will not have an HRA available. During this time, please visit our Living Well: Make it a Priority website at www.livingwell.utsystem.edu to access other support tools and resources available to you as a UT SELECT participant.
