That is the goal of health coaching?

The goal of health coaching is, after a thorough analysis of the working and living conditions of a client, to train the client in dealing with stressors and to provide him with supporting factors so that the client feels more health and satisfaction in his life. In order to maintain a person’s balance and prevent illness, lifestyles and habits are often changed with the help of the coach. This includes, for example, a change in diet, a sports program, relaxation or quitting smoking.

With such changes the coach pursues the goal of initiating changes individually tailored to the client, in order to achieve lasting success without the client falling back into his old life pattern. Further aspects of a health coaching can be changes as well as the strengthening and access to own resources. The client follows the path to the goal together with the coach.Such a goal can be, for example, weight reduction, more well-being in everyday life through less stress and more sport, or activation and participation in the social life of pain patients and the alleviation of physical symptoms.

The health insurance company promotes health coaching (bonus program)

Each health insurance company promotes different health programs and preventive medical checkups, so it is not possible to make a generalized assessment of whether a health insurance company promotes health coaching or not. With some health insurance companies, participation in a corresponding coaching is rewarded with a bonus program, where you can collect points, which in turn can be exchanged for money or other actions. Another possibility for health insurance companies to promote health coaching is the reimbursement of the costs of such coaching.

At the Techniker Krankenkasse, for example, it is possible to be trained by a health insurance company’s own coach and thus participate in a health coaching program provided by the insurance company. If you are interested in health coaching, it is advisable to contact your health insurance company and clarify whether and with what services the insurance company supports such coaching.
