Care Coordinator Introductions

The Montana Health Network Health Insurance Plan and Trust has added care coordination to the benefits offered to our member facilities and their employees. In their roles as Care Coordinators, Rebecca Stensvad, RN, and Charlee Allison, RN, will review members’ health records and help fill care gaps. They will monitor members’ health and wellness by reviewing insurance claims and providing feedback and suggestions for ongoing processes. They will also help with any questions about referrals, procedures, and the billing processes as well as helping with transitions of care should there be a need for that. Care Coordinators will send out reminders and help schedule appointments as needed. They will periodically do medication reviews to ensure members are maximizing medication potential and answer questions members may have. They will also act as patient advocates and relay information to members and their primary providers.
