I’m currently going through a tough time, but Mikayla’s customer service has truly been a bright spot for me. I’ve never experienced such outstanding support before. I am so grateful for her help."

Happy Government Relations Thursday!??? At BeneLynk, our Government Relations team plays a vital role in ensuring that health plan members receive the benefits they deserve. This recent success story demonstrates the power of having experts who understand the nuances of MSP/Medicaid across all 50 states and D.C. Recently, a member’s application was denied due to an inappropriate inclusion of assets. On 9/23, an appeal was filed. Less than a month later, the denial was reversed, and the member was approved for the Qualifying Individual (QI-1) Program! This success wouldn’t have been possible without the specialized knowledge and persistence of our Government Relations team. Their ability to navigate state-specific regulations ensures that members receive the care and resources they are entitled to! #GovernmentRelationsThursday #MSPs #Medicaid #HealthEquity

Today is World Pneumonia Day!??? Pneumonia, a preventable and treatable disease, remains a leading cause of death worldwide, especially among young children and older adults. This World Pneumonia Day, we're highlighting how health-related social needs (HRSNs) can increase the risk and severity of pneumonia. Factors like housing conditions, access to healthcare, nutrition, and air quality contribute significantly to pneumonia risk. For vulnerable populations, HRSNs create additional barriers to prevention, early diagnosis, and recovery. At BeneLynk, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers. By connecting health plan members with the social support they need, we help reduce the factors that contribute to poor respiratory health outcomes. Together, we can lessen the devastating impact of pneumonia. #WorldPneumoniaDay #HRSN #SocialCare?

Happy Halloween, everybody! ?? Helping your eligible health plan members sign up for Medicaid or the Medicare Savings Programs doesn’t have to be scary – especially with BeneLynk's Government Relations team by your side!? Recently, our GR team contacted a state health services department to check on the status of a member’s MSP application. We were advised that the member was approved for QI-1 effective 7/1. However, the member's QI-1 approval didn’t include retroactive coverage. After our team advocated on the member’s behalf, they were approved for coverage dating back to 4/1/2024! That’s an extra $524 for the member!? Whether it’s navigating complex policies or making sure members get the coverage they deserve, our GR team is here to help – no tricks, just treats! ?? #GRThursday #HalloweenEdition #AdvocacyInAction #MedicareSavingsProgram #SocialCare?
