Wellness Programs

Our health-focused plans come with comprehensive wellness resources. These programs are not insurance, but they are offered in addition to your medical plan to help your employees get information and support when they need it.

Integrated Care Management

Integrated Care Management provides specialized, targeted attention and support for employees who need assistance in managing their care. A Personal Care Team of clinical experts is ready to assist employees and their families with an ongoing medical condition, or serious illness or injury. The program provides easy access to one-on-one support focused on closing care gaps. Learn more about the program.

CareEnhance®

A 24-hour nurse hotline staffed by registered nurses. CareEnhance is a great way for members to get medical questions answered without having to make an appointment with a doctor or visit an urgent care clinic. By explaining symptoms or concerns, members can get advice on what they can do on their own—or get a nurse’s opinion on whether they should see a doctor right away.

Regence Rare Disease Condition Management Program

The Regence Rare Disease Condition Management Program, in collaboration with Accordant®, is a valuable service that provides a personal health care support system to members with rare, complex, chronic conditions. Members who are affected by select conditions have 24/7 access to specially trained nurses who can answer questions and make recommendations for care.

This program is designed to meet unique health care needs and help coordinate care by working with you, your doctors and designated family members to obtain the best possible care in the most efficient manner.
