Transition Care & Care Assist Programs
The Fund is partnering with naviHealth (previously Innovative Healthcare Delivery) to provide a Transition Care Program and a Care Assist Program for participants who are scheduled for an outpatient procedure or have been admitted to the hospital. This new benefit helps you navigate the health care system and stay healthy to avoid hospital readmission.
Here’s How it Works
Transition Care Program: naviHealth will contact you if you have been admitted to a hospital to assist with coordinating your post-discharge care. Or, if you know you are going to be admitted, call 304-316-2187 to arrange for assistance in advance. The naviHealth staff is comprised of experienced professionals—called Patient Navigators—who understand the Fund’s benefits and the complexities of the health care system. They advocate on your behalf to ensure your pathway to recovery is free of any obstacles.
Care Assist Program (CAP): If you are scheduled for an outpatient procedure, call 304-316-2187 for help with medications, coordinating your medical records between providers, scheduling check-ups and evaluations, and setting up durable medical equipment needed for the recovery process.
