Meet Mike2
Mike is experiencing low back pain after a bike accident. He contacts Anthem member support to ask about medication coverage.
Outreach When Mike calls, the member advocate sees an alert showing the use of opioids without any physical therapy. Mike is flagged as being a member who may be at risk for ongoing pain, hospitalization, and opioid dependency.
Intake The advocate learns that Mike recently lost his mother and is reluctant to miss work to attend physical therapy sessions. Mike admits to chronic pain and feeling isolated.
Action Mike is assigned to a care navigator who arranges physical therapy, connects with his doctor about pain management options, and schedules behavioral health counseling.
Follow-up Mike’s care navigator tells Mike about alternatives to emergency room care, including virtual care, our nurse line, and resources available through the SydneySM Health app.
Mike is feeling better and on the path to recovery.
As a result of our connected care model, Mike receives stronger care collaboration between his doctors and pharmacist to help him manage his clinical and behavioral health conditions.
Behind the scenes, utilization management experts analyze Mike’s claims to ensure the billing is accurate, making the experience seamless for Mike, his employer, and his providers.
