When a member called in frustrated after struggling to find care, Nicki didn’t match that energy; she changed it.

She stayed patient, focused on solutions and helped the member find an appointment quickly. By the end of the call, frustration turned into relief.

That shift matters.

Want to save money on your prescriptions?

Always check if your medication is on our Preferred Drug list. Preferred drugs are chosen by our medical teams because they are just as safe and effective as brand-name alternatives, but they come with a much lower copay for you.

Ask your doctor if a preferred drug is right for your treatment, and look up your prescriptions on our formulary guide today: https://www.wellsense.org/plans

High blood pressure can rise without clear symptoms, so regular checks are important.

Home readings help you spot changes early and share better information with your care team. Ask your provider for your target range and track it each week.
