From routine procedures to elective surgeries, different levels of information and support are required to help people through care selection.
Our CareSelect Concierge service can manage both, as a full service or integrated augmented staffing solution.
In routine care situations, our advisors explain the merits of alternative lower-cost service while assisting in changing authorizations. They advise on the selection of multiple provider or site-of-care options, assist in scheduling and confirming appointments, and follow up post-procedure to confirm everything went as expected. The approach and empathetic ear helps consumers become more comfortable shopping for low-complexity, routine, procedures that are based primarily on cost and location, without any real variation in quality. This approach creates satisfied members, and leads them to gain confidence in self-service options over time.
When surgery is needed, quality scores on in-network surgeons and hospitals and expert personalized support have a meaningful impact on the outcome. As part of our Sapphire365 Concierge service offering, a clinically trained surgical concierge supports customers through these more specialized care navigation needs. This surgical concierge matches members with the right surgeon at the right location by using a number of data sources including:
“I would give the Personal Assistant Team 10 stars! Their service is excellent. They find my facilities nearby, update me on new procedures, and guide me through what I might need. Tell them I say thank you!”

“My husband and I just used SmartShopper to schedule our annual procedures. The provider was wonderful and we earned $150 cash back! 100% recommend.”

“This is my first experience with Smart Shopper and was greeted by Shannon (Personal Assistant) who was a tremendous assistance. My first experience has been a pleasure!”
