Finally… you have a health care advocate that can help you get quality care at an affordable price! The insurance companies and HMO's often leave the patient in the middle while they find a way to deny or delay care. We put YOU first. Our customer service representatives are trained to help you find the hospital or specialist you need at the lowest possible cost to you. You'll receive immediate savings without having to file confusing claim forms or waiting for someone to authorize your care.
The program is being successfully used by members throughout the country who have not been able to obtain health insurance. Many others have successfully used the program with a high deductible insurance policy and substantially reduced their expenses while still covering their risk. Our representatives can help you find the solution that works best for you!
Helping members meet hospital requirements for payment is vitally important to Care Entrée. We help members meet "proof of ability to pay" standards by requiring them to have (and assisting them in obtaining) one of the following:
an adequately funded escrow account
a funded Medical Savings Account
a high deductible or hospital indemnity insurance policy
a medical expenses loan
Care Entrée offers an optional Credit Restoration System to aid members who need help in obtaining the credit ratings necessary to qualify for many of these "proof of ability to pay" options. We also offer an identity theft protection program called NameSafeSM which helps members safeguard themselves and their good credit from identity crime.
A directory with the most commonly used providers in your area, plus member ID cards, are made available when you become a member. Should you need a specialist or hospital, simply call our toll free number and our Member Services Department will locate the specialist nearest you.
The right medical information, when quickly and reliably available, can mean the difference between recovery and prolonged complications; sometimes even the difference between life and death.

The Care Entrée Instacare Card features smart card technology that stores your customer's vital medical information plus emergency contact and primary insurance information. Participating emergency personnel can instantly retrieve the information on a handheld portable reader or call the toll-free number on the front of the card for operator assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The fastest growing age group in America today, is the 65 and older individual. With the cost for a nursing home averaging at $42,000 per year, and Medicare covering only a small percentage of the cost, a family's nest egg could be depleted very quickly.

-
Home Healthcare
-
Nursing Homes and Assisted Living
-
Personal Care and Homemaker Service
-
Alzheimer's and Specialty Care
-
The long term care network offers savings of up to 30% on these
-
services. Given the relatively high cost of many of these services, this

Members can elect the long-term care option instead of the medical care option in the Select Program, or it can be added for an additional $10.00 per month. This is particularly recommended for seniors because doctors who accept Medicare are already giving a discount and further reductions cannot be obtained from doctors and hospitals using the Care Entrée program.
