What to expect next
Here's a list of things to expect as a new Secure Health member:
New Member Packet
As a new member of Secure Health, you will receive a New Member Packet in the mail within a few weeks of your enrollment. This packet contains important information including your Member Identification (ID) Card. Be sure to read everything in this packet and call us with any questions.
New Member Enrollment Call:
Upon receiving your enrollment form, a Member Services Representative will call you to verify that the information on your enrollment form is correct and explain your benefits and plan structure.
Health Risk Assessment Call
In an effort to maintain and perhaps even improve your well-being, we conduct a health risk assessment of each new member. During the assessment, we will ask you questions about your health so we can determine your overall well-being. This way, we can customize your care to best fit your medical needs.
Transition Call
Once you become a new member, we may need to transition your care to ensure that you continue to receive the medical treatment you need. By doing so, you will have uninterrupted access to any medications you are currently taking and any durable medical equipment you may be currently using.
