Getting started
A step-by-step guide on how to use, and make the most of, your WellSense plan.
1. Pick a doctor
Choose a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant to be your primary care provider (PCP) for all your routine care. Your PCP is the hub of your healthcare. They will make sure you are up to date on vaccines and screenings and will send you to specialists when needed. Once you choose a PCP, log in to your account or call us to let us know who you picked. Put your PCP's phone number in your phone for easy access in the future.
2. Complete your health survey
Your answers will help us provide personalized support for your unique health needs. Depending on your answers, we may refer you to free programs to help improve your health or prevent disease. Start survey now.
3. Find your prescription drugs
We cover thousands of prescription drugs. Check to see if your drug is covered.
4. See what services are covered
Learn how to take full advantage of your plan benefits — including your FREE extras. Get to know your benefits documents and refer back to it when you need to find out if a service is covered. When in doubt, please call and ask us before you get the service. We don't want you to receive a surprise bill.
In some cases you will need prior approval before a service will be covered. You or your doctor can confirm if the service requires a prior authorization.
5. Know who to call
Sometimes you may feel sick when your PCP isn’t available. Your PCP’s office may have doctors or nurses available for these situations.
- For routine care, call your PCP during business hours.
- For urgent care needs that happen after hours, please call your PCP first. If your PCP office is not available, try our 24/7 Nurse Advice Line at 800-973-6273. Nurses are available around the clock to answer your health questions and possibly save you a trip to the hospital or emergency room.
- If you are having a true emergency, please call 911.
