Healthe Care
In our effort to continually provide quality care to our associates, we are expanding our relationship with CVS Caremark, our current Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM), by engaging their disease support service provided through the Accordant Health Services division. This enhancement to Advocate’s Benefits Plan will improve our plan participants’ use of medical services, as well as their clinical outcomes and satisfaction with care. This benefit is private, voluntary, and given at no cost.

The Accordant Care Disease Management Program will be extended to our adult benefited population including spouses and domestic partners. This disease support service will initially be extended to plan participants suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, diabetes and asthma. This personal support program aims to help participants follow their doctor’s treatment plan and better manage their chronic health condition(s).

How could this benefit you?

Participants will have the full support of a Caremark registered nurse, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will have the same nurse for the duration of program and will be able to schedule phone appointments with your nurse at times that are best for you. You can ask questions and get information to help you better understand and manage your condition. Your nurse will also provide:
  • Lifestyle tips
  • Ideas to help you work with your doctor
  • Up-to-date, reliable information about how to care for your condition
  • Regular updates to your doctor on your progress in the program and care needs
As part of Advocate's Healthe You program, this disease support service helps you know more about your condition and gives you information to help you feel your best.
