Manage Your Plan

Part of our commitment to you is making it as easy as possible to manage your benefits. We offer two online tools – MyPHP and the Member Reference Desk – that provide valuable information about your account.

MyPHP

MyPHP offers instant access from a computer or through an app to your claim information, a provider directory, out-of-pocket expenses, and more. It’s easy to use, easy to locate the information you need, and most importantly, available whenever you need to access information about your PHP coverage.

Member Reference Desk (MRD)

The Member Reference Desk is a helpful resource for your basic benefit information. It offers, in PDF form, such information as: benefit summaries, the PHP handbook, certificates of coverage, advance directives, privacy statements, pharmacy mail order forms, prescription drug lists and provider directory information.

Medical Resource Management (MRM)

MRM is a highly structured and clinically intense set of processes that facilitate your access to healthcare resources, decrease your “hassle” factor and improve your overall healthcare experience.

What Does MRM Do?

As part of MRM, clinical staff will:
  • Review members’ care while they’re in the hospital to make sure they’re getting the right care at the right time
  • Help members with care after they are released from the hospital
  • Assist members with complex care management
  • Assist members with transplant services
  • Facilitate disease management programs

MRM Team

Our MRM team strives to ensure that you receive quality care, can navigate through the healthcare system and avoid unnecessary out-of-pocket costs.

We define quality care as the right care at the right time in the right setting. Many MRM functions revolve around monitoring the quality of your care.

Some of our members may benefit from having a Case Manager. A Case Manager is a trained professional who will help you navigate the healthcare system and obtain needed care and services. The Case Manager will work closely with you and your doctor to help you optimize your health and understand your conditions.
