Care Coordination

Care Coordinators are AHN staff members who are here to help you with every aspect of your care.  They can also help provide guidance with non-health related resources.  Your care coordinator will help educate you on medical office protocol.  They will help you find out how much your payment will be for any given appointment.  They can give you a better understanding of the health care system by walking you through the referral process.  Your care coordinator can also answer your questions about other health care resources that are available to you as a member of AHN.  They will be your guide, your resource, and someone you can count on. 

You should contact your care coordinator when:

  • You don’t know how much to pay for a service

  • You have been referred to a specialist

  • You go to the Emergency Room or are admitted to the hospital

  • You are referred to get a hospital based procedure done

  • You have been referred to get a radiology test done

You do not need to contact your care coordinator to:

  • Make an appointment with your primary care physician

  • Make an appointment with your assigned dental provider

  • Go and see an optometrist

  • Get lab work done

  • Fill a prescription

  • Go to an urgent care

To speak with a care coordinator please call 1.877.385.2345 during regular office hours. Monday – Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm.

  • Urgent messages will be returned as soon as possible

  • All other messages will be returned within 24-48 hours

  • If you would like to meet with your Care Coordinator in person please call first to schedule an appointment

Access Medical Policies

Below you will find important information on how to use your Access Medical membership. It is very important you understand this information to ensure you are able to gain access to the care you need when you need it and to not jeopardize your Access Medical membership. Click here to download a copy of our member manual that contains detailed information about how Access Medical works. If you have questions about any of the following information please feel free to call our care coordination department at 877-385-2345.

Payment to Providers at the Time of Service

  • You must pay all charges at the time of service. Failure to do so will jeopardize your membership with AHN.

  • You are not allowed to set up payment plans even if the providers’ office says you can. Doing so will jeopardize your membership.

  • You cannot ask to be billed for services. All charges must be paid for at the time of service.

  • The Medical Discount Program is not health insurance and will not pay for any of your healthcare services.

Accessing Specialty Care and Diagnostic Services

In order to see a specialist (heart doctor, lung doctor, bone doctor, etc.), get any diagnostic testing (radiology, EKG, etc.) excluding lab, or have a hospital based procedure, a referral for these services will need to be faxed to your care coordinator by the referring provider.  It is your responsibility to remind your provider that the referral needs to be sent to AHN before services can be accessed.

  • You DO NOT need a referral for: Lab Work, General Dentistry, Optometry, Chiropractic, Massage, Acupuncture, Audiology, etc.

  • You MUST HAVE a referral for: Specialty Care (Gynecologist, Orthopedist, Cardiologist, Etc.), Radiology, Physical Therapy, Nutritionist/Dietician, Hospital Services, Surgeries

  • If you access services without the referral first being sent to your Care Coordinator you may jeopardize your membership in AHN and be responsible for full billed charges.

Provider Appointments-Late Cancellation

  • If you need to cancel an appointment, it is important to give as much notice as possible. Most health care providers require 24-48 hours-notice for cancellations.  AHN providers can charge you a $25 cancellation fee if you do not give them at least 24 hours-notice to cancel an appointment.

  • To keep your membership in good standing you must pay the $25 late cancellation fee within two business days of the missed appointment

Provider Appointments-No Call/No Show

  • If you do not call to cancel your appointment and do not show up to your appointment you will be charged a $25 no show fee

  • If you do not show up to two of your appointments with any provider your membership in the Medical Discount Program will be closed
