Atrium Health encourages all teammates to receive their recommended preventive care. Full-time and part-time teammates with 16 or more standard hours per week, can use up to two hours of paid time off per calendar year for any preventive care and the time may be used in 15-minute increments. Atrium Health Time Out for Prevention may be used for work time missed due to medical, dental, vision, and preventive care. Before using Time Out for Prevention, teammates should discuss with their leader and provide enough notice to ensure the appropriate staffing and time-keeping code is recorded during their time away from work.
Personal Care Management (PCM) is a unique proactive health care program that helps educate and mentor individuals who may show early signs of, or be at risk for, developing serious health issues such as diabetes, uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled asthma, COPD, heart disease, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome or multiple co-morbidities. This program is administered by MedCost Benefit Services and is a free benefit available to teammates and their dependents covered under one of the LiveWELL Health Plans. More than 80 percent of participants in the PCM program experience positive health changes that result in fewer days missed from work and fewer health complications. The program provides personal nurse health coaching and mentoring via scheduled phone calls, customized strategies to improve overall health and well-being, care plan designs, educational materials and informative tools tailored to your specific needs. You may receive outreach from this program if your health history suggestions it would be beneficial to you. Or, you can call MedCost directly to find out if you are eligible at 1-800-204-2085.
SmartStarts will help you get ready to welcome your baby by providing you with resources and information about each stage of your pregnancy. A supplement to your doctor's care, get support from the MedCost SmartStarts nurses who are happy to provide support, resources and answer questions. Enroll in this free program by calling 1-800-722-2157.
If you or your family member(s) have been diagnosed with diabetes, you are eligible to participate in Diabetes Care Management (DCM). You have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a MedCost nurse health coach who can help you manage your diabetes and prevent the onset of additional disease or complications. To enroll in DCM, call 1-800-204-2085.
Participants in the PCM, DCM and SmartStarts Maternity programs may be eligible to earn an incentive for Physical Well-being through the LiveWELL Health Plans.
Members with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes enrolled in a comprehensive Community Eye Care (CEC) plan who undergo a medical exam are eligible for co-pay relief. The member simply submits a form to CEC and is reimbursed for the amount of the co-pay, up to $25.
Coming June 2024! The CarolinaCARE mail-order pharmacy website will transition to the MyAtriumHealth patient portal Saturday, June 8 for an improved customer experience and enhanced security. Learn more.
Important dates to help prepare for the transition from the CarolinaCARE website to MyAtriumHealth:
Many people with diabetes are on multiple prescription medications, which can be expensive. One-on-One Rx is a service designed to provide free medication reviews for Atrium Health teammates and their dependents. One-on-One Rx is a team of Atrium Health pharmacy professionals who are experts in the LiveWELL Pharmacy Plan and CarolinaCARE Pharmacy. Our pharmacists strive to maintain and enhance therapeutic outcomes while saving our teammates money on their prescriptions.
Request appointments with a One-on-One Rx pharmacist online through the scheduling tool.
Atrium Health has Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists (RDN) available for outpatient visits to help you reduce your health risks. Health professionals agree that nutrition education is one of the first treatments that individuals should receive to prevent or improve conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension.
Teammates and family members who are enrolled in one of the LiveWELL Health Plans may receive free visits with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Appointments are available to participants who have an appropriate physician’s referral for Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). Up to six visits may be covered (no charge) in a benefit year to provide appropriate guidance and education for diet-related conditions or risk factors.
Note that not all Nutrition and Diabetes services are covered at 100%. Please confirm coverage with your caregiver and MedCost prior to service.
