Advantage MD members get ongoing support when and where it matters most:
24/7 Nurse Chat
Speak directly to a registered nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Use this service if you have a question and your provider is unavailable. Members use Nurse Chat to ask about symptoms, determine if they need care, and more.
Transition of Care
Care Managers help navigate post-ER visits, hospital stays, or life changes by assisting with follow-up care, medication access, and transitions, reducing hospital visits. Advantage MD (HMO) members also get nutritious meal delivery for five days post-discharge.
Care Management
Our goal is to keep you healthy and help manage your condition. Care managers provide education, one-on-one support, assess needs, collaborate with providers, and connect you to resources. If you need help, we’re here.
Mental Health Support
Taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical health.
We can help you with care coordination for substance abuse challenges, or struggles with depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.
Health & Wellness Classes

Personal Care Plan
Could you use a care manager to help you better manage a condition? Perhaps you need preventive services — we are here to help. As a member of our plan, we’re asking you to complete a personal care plan.
A personal care plan is a short questionnaire about your health and lifestyle that gives a profile of your overall health and well-being. Your honest answers to these questions tells us how we can best provide the resources and services you need to support your individual health.
To complete your personal care plan, enter your Advantage MD member ID number and the password “mywellness”.
Completing your personal care plan will help you:
- Identify existing behaviors that are considered good health practices.
- Identify protective and health risk factors.
- Get a comprehensive picture of your health and lifestyle.
- Make healthy life decisions.
