  • No-cost annual checkups
  • Immunizations
  • Preventive care
  • Routine screenings

    Care Management

    All HealthierLife (HARP) members are assigned a Care Manager to assist with coordinating care across all their healthcare services.  Fidelis Care's Care Management Services are available from 8:30 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday at 1-800-247-1441, extension 16077.

    Step 3: Choose a Primary Care Provider

    Fidelis Care wants to make sure you get the best care. A primary care provider (PCP) helps keep you healthy. If you already have a PCP who is in the Fidelis Care network, then that provider should have been automatically assigned as your PCP. You can view, confirm or change your PCP from your Member Portal account. If you need help changing your PCP through the member portal, watch this video.

    Find PCPs near you by using our Find a Doctor tool. Watch this video if you need help with the Find a Doctor tool. Once you find a PCP, please call Member Services at 1-888-FIDELIS (1-888-343-3547); TTY: 711, and a Representative will update your account.

    Step 4: Schedule Your Annual Checkup
    It’s important to get a checkup every year to see if there are any changes to your health. Your PCP can help you stay well and take control of your health. Call them to make an appointment. There is no copay for your annual checkup.

    Here are some questions you might ask your PCP:

  • Do I need any vaccinations?
  • Do I need any health screenings or blood tests?
  • Do I need any changes to my prescriptions?
  • What lifestyle changes can I make to improve my health?
  • When should I schedule my next visit?

  • Follow your PCP’s advice. Listen to your PCP and ask questions if you don't understand. Be sure to keep all follow-up visits. Also, take medications as prescribed.

    Step 5: Connect With Your Care Manager

    As a HealthierLife member, you have a care team that will work with you. They will help you achieve your goals. Talk to your care manager about the different types of care available to you, including:

      Health Home Care Management (HHCM) - addresses barriers related to housing and other needs (such as food, transportation, etc.)

      Home & Community Based Services (HCBS) - helps increase independence and wellness while remaining in the community

      Community Oriented Recovery & Empowerment (CORE) Services - manages mental health and substance abuse conditions

    Plan Basics

    Your HealthierLife (HARP) plan offers comprehensive coverage. There are no copays for covered services, including preventive services. Always check with your PCP to find out if a referral is required for any additional health services you might need.

    Your coverage also helps you:

  • Get high quality care. Access high quality in-network care for little to no out of pocket cost.
  • Stay healthy. Health insurance helps you get preventive care that keeps you healthy and in touch with a doctor.
  • Prepare for the unexpected. If you or a family member has an emergency or becomes seriously ill, health insurance helps give you peace of mind knowing your healthcare needs will be met.

  • You can also review 
    common health insurance terms to help you better understand your plan.
