I know someone who works for Accordant - their role is to provide advice and support to members via e-mail and phone. Each member is assigned to a nurse/case manager, so there is an ongoing, caring relationship. There are also MD/medical directors available. The thought is that it will help to promote proper care, keeping patients going and minimizing the need for costlier intervention. This service is a newly emerging area of healthcare and is growing quickly.
