Health and Care Coordination Services
When you have PrimeTime Health Plan, you have an experienced health team working for you.
Our Disease Management and Case Management programs will help you get the care you need, and our team of nurses and social workers are here for you when you need them. With PrimeTime Health Plan, you get the Medicare Advantage Plan benefits you deserve, one big reason why 90% of PrimeTime members stay PrimeTime members.
Your locally owned Medicare Advantage alternative is ready to help when you need care, and we also offer wellness plans to help keep you healthy. What’s Care Coordination? We’ve streamlined our health and wellness program into a system that’s a behind-the-scenes integration of healthcare available to you at no additional cost.
We are your advocates for care, information and community resources. Our programs are facilitated by our Care Coordination team of local physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists and other clinical staff that can help you tackle potential and ongoing health and wellness issues.
Our members can count on us to help alleviate the costs of their healthcare procedures. But, we are much more than a Medicare Advantage Plan company. Not only do we help offset healthcare costs, we coordinate health and wellness experts with valuable resources to prevent health concerns arising in the first place. Of course, sometimes health issues are inevitable, which is why we have programs and staff in place to help manage those issues, too.
We provide the following services at no cost to you:
• Assistance with referrals and out-of-network specialists
• Help to transition your care to panel providers
• Care coordination to help you get the most from your benefits
• A registered nurse line available 24 hours a day/7 days a week at 330-363-7600 or toll-free at 1-855-409-6448
