Help in Navigating the Health Care Maze
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by medical problems, whether your own or those of someone close to you, you probably wished you had someone to guide you and even go to bat for you. Main Line Health employees do. Health Advocate, a service of FirstCall EAP, is an advocacy and assistance service founded to help you with many of the issues people encounter when accessing the healthcare and health insurance systems. MLH offers this service at no cost to employees, your spouses and dependent children, parents, and parents-in-law To get help with health care issues, call FirstCall at 1 (800) 382-2377. They will transfer you to the Health Advocate customer service team and the person who will be your Personal Health Advocate. This person will guide you through the complexities of the health care system and facilitate all possible solutions. For example, you can get help with: Eldercare issues, Identifying “best-class” medical institutions for specific illnesses or injuries; Locating and researching current treatments for a medical condition; Securing second opinions; Resolving insurance claims; and more. For more information, see the Benefits section of our Intranet where both newsletter and further information are posted for both GlobalFit and Health Advocate.
