A few of the ways your Erickson Advantage Nurse Care Coordinator may support you:

3. Member Services Representatives—
    Your Personal Health Insurance Liaison

Imagine not having to wait on the phone to get your questions answered! What if you could present your question to a member service representative right down the hall, who services Erickson Advantage members only and know the representative will handle your question quickly and efficiently?

Sound impossible? Not if you are an Erickson Advantage member. If you ever experience a problem or have a question regarding Erickson Advantage reimbursements or billings, just call or stop by your member services representative’s on-site office during open office hours, and you will be taken care of. This means no more long phone waits or delays in reaching the help you need.* We provide these services for our members right where they live!

*On average, member service issues are resolved in under 8 hours. Results of Erickson Advantage member service call documentation system. 4th Quarter 2008 Member/Provider/Vendor Call Response Time report

“With Erickson Advantage, you ask one person for help-the on site member services representative, and they take care of it. It’s one-stop shopping.” –James Foggo, son of Elizabeth Foggo, Erickson Advantage Signature Member

4. Transportation Off-Site to Plan Approved Medical Facilities*

You can sit back and enjoy the ride with Erickson Advantage because up to 24 one-way trips to medical appointments are covered in full.

5. Accent on Preventive Care and Wellness

Erickson Advantage emphasizes preventing health problems from developing, not just treating them after they arise. It does this with a range of preventive programs, tests, and vaccinations, including:

“Members of Erickson Advantage have access to a care coordinator on campus who acts as their consultant to all health care issues. As a care coordinator, I teach members how diet, activity, and exercise all impact their health. I can even develop a personalized plan of care, tailored just for them.” –Robin Varacalle, care coordinator for Erickson Advantage at Charlestown

6. Skilled Nursing Care

Sometimes, additional attention and a higher level of coordinated care may help you lead a more comfortable life. If you ever need a higher level of care, Erickson Advantage may be able to cover your skilled nursing needs without a prior three-day hospital stay.  In original Medicare you would be required to spend a minimum of three days in the hospital before you access a skilled nursing benefit.

All of this is delivered by Erickson Living doctors and nurses with specific expertise in assessing individual health care goals.
