HIGHMARK PARTNERS WITH WELVIE TO IMPROVE HEALTH PLAN MEMBERS' SURGICAL EXPERIENCE

Highmark Inc. announced Monday its partnership with Welvie to offer members an interactive educational guide to help them understand all the steps for deciding on, preparing for and recovering from non-emergency surgeries, including surgeries for back, knee, hip and eyes. Welvie gives members the knowledge they need to work with their physicians to make smarter decisions leading to better outcomes.

There is no cost to eligible members for Welvie. Learning modules, to-do lists, calendars and diaries help patients participate in decision-making with their doctors, avoid surgical complications and reduce risks during recovery – all leading to better outcomes.

Highmark is offering this benefit free of charge for each member covered under its fully-insured commercial, Medicare Advantage and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Individual and Small Group health plans in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware.

Below are some resources to help you in your conversation with your clients:
