Did you know that as part of your benefits package through the Alliance Health Plan, you can access a unique care support program called KnovaSolutions? We know that trying to manage complex healthcare-related issues can be a full-time job. So Alliance Benefits has partnered with KnovaSolutions to provide you and your family with the support you need to navigate any medical-related concerns.
Question: What is KnovaSolutions?
KnovaSolutions® is a clinical prevention service to help members better understand and manage their medical care, treatments, and medications via telephone and email. The KnovaSolutions clinical team focuses on the member as a whole, not just the health complications they may be facing, by providing access to health information and support in making the best health decisions possible.
Question: Does it cost me anything?
No. There is no cost to you or any family member for participating in the KnovaSolutions program.
Question: Will my employer know I am using KnovaSolutions services?
No. KnovaSolutions is an entirely voluntary and confidential health information service. At no time will information related to you or your family member’s specific health concerns be shared with your employer.
Question: What does KnovaSolutions do for my family and me?
KnovaSolutions takes a person-centered approach that goes beyond illness and injury. You’ll have access to a support team that includes a nurse, pharmacist, and medical research librarian. They will give you information, support your medical journey, and work with you to build a health management action plan to make informed decisions. Your plan will address concerns that impact your overall well-being by navigating work, family, and school-related issues.
These services are designed to enhance, not replace, the relationship you have with your provider.
Your clinical team can answer questions like:
- What does my diagnosis mean?
- Where can I go for the best treatment?
- How do I get a second opinion?
- What are the risks and benefits of this surgery?
- How do I get a copy of my medical records?
- What lifestyle changes will improve my health?
- How can I decrease the stress in my life?
Question: How do I use or get connected to KnovaSolutions?
If you are eligible for our services, KnovaSolutions will send you an introductory letter and set up a consultation with a clinical support nurse. This program is voluntary and member-driven. You decide if, when, and how often you want to connect with your team. The services are secure, confidential, and customized to fit your individual needs.
