Compassionate Health Coordinators

Connect Employees with Compassionate Health Coordinators

Compassionate care is at the heart of your organization and ours. The personal, clinical, and emotional support our members receive from Quantum Health Care Coordinators is a perfect fit for our ELCA-Primary health benefits. And when it comes to navigating complex health systems, it makes sense to offer your employees assistance in this area.

Through their ELCA-Primary health benefits, members can simply call the Quantum phone number located on their Portico Health ID card or log in to the Quantum website through the myPortico portal to live chat with a Quantum Health Care Coordinator. Members can also download the Quantum app.

What is a Care Coordinator

Quantum Health Care Coordinators are compassionate human beings with listening ears! Navigating health care can be confusing and overwhelming. The goal of providing employees with access to a Quantum Health Care Coordinator is to alleviate this burden by offering a single point of contact before, during, and after any health event.

It’s hard to ignore these benefits:

  • Preventive care: Use a Quantum Health Care Coordinator to find a provider and answer questions about which preventive services the health plan covers. Getting ahead of a possible diagnosis by utilizing preventive care may result in less expensive treatments down the road.
  • Navigation during a diagnosis: When an employee receives a diagnosis and their provider gives them a referral, they can reach out to a Quantum Health Care Coordinator for help or, in complex cases, Quantum will proactively reach out to the employee due to the real time intercept.
  • Better outcomes: Better for your workforce and your organization.

“I had a mess of a situation with a large hospital bill that I knew was wrong. I called the Quantum Health number and spoke to Tyrone. This person was AMAZING. Within 2 hours, he spoke to me, called Northwestern Hospital, called me back and told me the bill would be taken care of …

Portico and your partners are BY FAR the best benefits company I have ever worked with. Health care management is stressful, at best, for all involved. I can’t thank you enough for the care and compassion given by you and your team.”
