2. Member Services Representative—

4. Accent on preventive care and wellness

Erickson Advantage emphasizes preventing health problems from developing, not just treating them after they arise. It does this with a range of preventive programs, tests, and vaccinations, including:

“Members of Erickson Advantage have access to a care coordinator on campus who acts as their consultant to all health care issues. As a care coordinator, I teach members how diet, activity, and exercise all impact their health. I can even develop a personalized plan of care, tailored just for them.” –Robin Varacalle, care coordinator for Erickson Advantage at Charlestown

5. Skilled Nursing Care

Sometimes, additional attention and a higher level of coordinated care may help you lead a more comfortable life. If you ever need a higher level of care, Erickson Advantage may be able to cover your skilled nursing needs without a prior three-day hospital stay.  In original Medicare you would be required to spend a minimum of three days in the hospital before you access a skilled nursing benefit.

All of this is delivered by Erickson doctors and nurses with specific expertise in assessing individual health care goals.

Note:  These are just some of the highlighted benefits available through Erickson Advantage.  Please refer to the Summary of Benefits for a description of benefits.

You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another third party. You must have Medicare Parts A and B and must reside in the service area of the plan.
