Questions About Care Coordination

• Is there a Care Coordinator designated just to me?

  Yes. You have a designated, credentialed professional Care Coordinator. This individual is part of a larger, diversified wellness and care coordination team that collaborates to provide care across the full continuum of need.
  
  If you ever misplace your Care Coordinator’s name, the person who answers the telephone at Friends Life Care keeps a list of all of our members matched to their Care Coordinators. They can connect you with your Care Coordinator.

• What is the best way to contact my Care Coordinator?
