Healthcare can be scary and it could also be complicated. We help members navigate a system that isn't always easy to best meet their needs. Shield Concierge is one of our premium care models at Blue Shield where we pair a designated customer care team with a designated clinical team, and they're working in lockstep to really deliver customized solutions for our clients. It's all about resolving a member's issues in one call and then working as a team to make sure that the member gets what they need.

Cleo Mutebi ( 00:40 ):

This holistic approach really produces great patient healthcare outcomes. You have people with different expertise that can address every aspect of what the member's going through.

Sabina Rosenstock ( 00:52 ):

Maybe they need some assistance with a support group or personal therapist or psychiatrist.

Cleo Mutebi ( 00:57 ):

It's really a white glove service where you don't have to do anything more than just make that one initial call.

Amy Togonon ( 01:03 ):

Calling other health plans, you get transferred from person to person to person, and sometimes at the end of the call you still don't get an answer. And it's different in Shield Concierge because you call in, you speak to a customer service representative, and they're going to handle your call from beginning to end. They're going to be the one to call the different departments for you to take care of your needs.

Sabina Rosenstock ( 01:23 ):

When we support our members, we do our best to send them as much information as we can to reduce any homework that they might need to do on their own.

Paula Lunde ( 01:31 ):

We offer a really robust suite of clinical solutions that employers can get all in one place, and it's really a great way for employers to attract their employees.

Sabina Rosenstock ( 01:41 ):

Blue Shield really cares about what their employees go through and how they feel, and the resources and benefits that they need to be able to do their job effectively so that we can help our members and the community.

Cleo Mutebi ( 01:52 ):

My favorite part of my job is the impact that I make on a daily basis within Shield Concierge. Being able to get on the call with a member and being able to address the concerns or barriers that they may be facing is extremely rewarding.

Paula Lunde ( 02:06 ):

We're proud of how our teams have really touched the lives of members and really improve the quality of life.
