DISPATCH HEALTH
Boulder Valley School District has partnered with DispatchHealth to provide you with an exciting new health benefit that is covered by our Cigna insurance plans. On-Demand urgent care, in the comfort of your home, work or place of need!
DispatchHealth is bringing back the house call using board-certified doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMTs, equipped to treat a wide range of injuries and illnesses. DispatchHealth brings the same healthcare providers you would see in your local Emergency Room right to your door. By using DispatchHealth for non-emergency medical needs instead of going to the ER, you will receive significant out of pocket savings when compared to a typical ER visit based on our medical plans. You will also enjoy a more convenient and integrated healthcare experience AND you help keep our health care costs under control. How they compare:
Average cost of an ER visit: $2200 VS DispatchHealth visits are 8-10 times cheaper
Average time spent with a physician in the US: 15 minutes VS Average time with a DispatchHealth clinician: 45 minutes
Average time spent in an ER visit: 4 hours VS Average wait time a DispatchHealth visit: 1 hour How it works:
- Request care - The DispatchHealth team provides care from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., 365 days a year, including holidays. - Explain your symptoms - Their providers will triage your symptoms over the phone to understand what's wrong and get the right care en route. - Receive care in your home - On average, their mobile teams arrive within a hour. - Rest easy - They will call in your prescriptions, update your family doctor, handle billing with your health insurance so you can focus on feeling better, faster. Things they treat:
They are ER trained and equipped to treat anything an Urgent Care facility can plus more including: IV placement, IV fluids, splinting, stitches, rapid infectious disease testing (flue, strep, mono, RSV), on site advanced blood testing, eye infections, skin rashes, asthma, bronchitis, digestive issues, and much more. It's that easy!

How can physicians and patients have the important conversations necessary to ensure the right care is delivered at the right time? Choosing Wisely® aims to answer that question.
An initiative of the ABIM Foundation, Choosing Wisely is focused on encouraging physicians, patients and other health care stakeholders to think and talk about medical tests and procedures that may be unnecessary, and in some instances can be harmful.
To spark these conversations, leading specialty societies have created lists of "Things Physicians and Patients Should Question" -- evidence-based recommendations that should be discussed to help make wise decisions about the most appropriate care based on a patient's individual situation.
Lifestyle changes can be challenging to make on your own. Even knowing where to start can be a hurdle to overcome. To help you get started and have the support you need along the way, you could look to your localhealth care team for help.
It used to be that you had one doctor who took care of all your health care needs and knew your medical history. Today, health care looks dramatically different — and the changes will continue to accelerate as new technologies are introduced to aid in the management of health. These changes have led to the importance of clinicians working together — team-based health care — who can pull from different backgrounds and resources to provide the best, comprehensive care for the patient.
What is a health care team? Your health care team is the group of health experts that work together to make sure you get coordinated, high-quality care that’s centered on your preferences and needs.
If you want to add to your care team, you have a great resource available to you as part of your Cigna Standard or Basic health plan. The Nurse Care Coordinator & Coach is a resource we offer you, free of charge. Debra Kirk is a registered nurse with the Boulder Valley Care Network, and she is an important part of your health care team. She is here to help you meet your health goals in ways that work for you and align with your physicians’ recommendations. It’s strictly confidential — and her time is dedicated to supporting BVSD employees and dependents, especially those with a chronic disease.
