Your Alera Group medical plan gives you access to care, support, and prescriptions to help manage chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, and more. You can:
If you’re diagnosed with a health condition, a Blue Cross Blue Shield or UnitedHealthcare advocate (depending on your medical plan) will reach out to you to offer personalized support.
Log in to your medical plan portal or call the number on the back of your medical ID card to learn more about your coverage.
Navigating the health care system is complicated and it helps to have a guide. Included Health can help you understand your medical plan benefits, find top in-network doctors, schedule appointments, submit claims, and review bills.
If you’re managing a complex diagnosis or your treatment isn’t working as expected, Included Health can also help you get an expert medical opinion. You’ll be matched with a top specialist who will review your diagnosis and treatment options and recommend the best course of action.
This service is available at no cost to you and your covered dependents through your Alera Group medical plan.
If you're enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare or Blue Cross Blue Shield medical plan, you can use Garner Health to find the best in-network doctors. Garner highlights providers with top patient satisfaction, the latest medical practices, and the best outcomes. When you choose a recommended doctor, you may also qualify for reimbursement on some of your out-of-pocket costs.
