Who might benefit from KnovaSolutions?
Employees and family members enrolled in the Anthem or Kaiser HAP who are facing many health care decisions may benefit from talking with the KnovaSolutions team. The team will consult and answer your questions about health care and treatment options, medical care decisions, medications and work-life balance.
Your KnovaSolutions team will educate you about the risks and benefits associated with multiple providers, diagnostic tests, procedures and medications in order to help you better communicate with your medical providers to make informed health care decisions. These services are intended to enhance—not replace—the patient-doctor relationship.
How are you different from disease, case, or care management?
KnovaSolutions collaborates with other medical care providers including primary care doctors and medical specialists. Rather than focusing on just one disease or health behavior, KnovaSolutions addresses the health needs of the whole person. KnovaSolutions is an independent service and does not operate as an agent of insurance carriers or managed care organizations.
