MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeWise Health Plan of Washington today announced the debut of “LifeWise Mobile,” a suite of tools that LifeWise members can access directly from their mobile phones for on-the-go access to health plan information. The free app is the first of its kind available to members, allowing them to use their mobile phones as a convenient backup for their LifeWise member ID card to show proof of health coverage. Members can also instantly email their proof of coverage directly to providers from their phones while at the doctor’s office.
“Sometimes you can’t find your proof of health coverage card when you need it most,” said Randy Turner, director of sales, eBusiness strategy at LifeWise Health Plan of Washington. “Now, with the launch of our mobile app, it is always riding with your mobile phone.”
The free app is initially available for download on mobile devices powered by Apple®, Android® and Windows 7®. Instant access to all mobile features is also available by visiting www.lifewisewa.com on any smart phone. Additional device support and features will be available later this year.
The app also features a provider finder called “Find a Doctor.” In the future, LifeWise Mobile will integrate the company’s most popular features and services, giving members access to health benefits information on their mobile phones which was previously available only by logging into their accounts from their computers.
“Future plans include putting members’ health plan information at their fingertips. We recognize that our members are on the go and these apps will give them access to health plan information where they are, on their own schedule,” Turner said. “Moving forward, LifeWise Mobile will serve as the platform to put valuable health and wellness resources directly in the hands of our members.”
