Ask What Your Carrier Offers

What It Is

What the program is and what members do.

What the program is

The carrier says its care management team can provide support to help members manage chronic kidney disease. The page ties this to diabetes and hypertension as well, and describes it as helping members get the best care possible.

How members use it

Priority Health says to call Customer Service at 888.975.8102 to learn more or get started with a care manager. The page lists what a member gets: connection to resources, help finding an in-network doctor or specialist, guidance through the healthcare system, and education on managing kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension.

What it covers and does not

The support described is education, navigation and resources. The page does not describe treatment, medications, dialysis or any change to benefits, and it does not state outcomes.

Who Can Use It

Eligibility, funding and plan design.

Who the carrier says it is for

The page does not state eligibility rules or a line of business. It speaks to members managing these conditions. Employers should confirm with Priority Health that it applies to their group.

How it is funded or sold

The page does not state a cost. A related Priority Health care management page says care managers may be available at no additional cost depending on plan type, so we would ask whether that applies here.

Where it fits in plan design

These conditions often occur together, so one care manager route can help a member who is dealing with more than one. It is a support service on top of the medical plan and does not change cost sharing.

What To Ask

What to settle before relying on it.

Is this open to our group at no extra cost?

The page is silent on cost and line of business. We would ask Priority Health for a written answer for the group.

How are members identified?

The page only describes a member calling in. We would ask whether the carrier also reaches out proactively based on claims or diagnosis.

How does this connect to other programs?

Priority Health lists diabetes programs such as Virta and Livongo separately. We would ask how care managers coordinate with them and with the member’s own doctors.
