Welcome, Fidelis Care at Home Members

We are proud to be your healthcare partner and want to help you access essential health benefits and services to keep you as healthy as possible.

Get Started

Step 1: Sign Up for Our Member Portal
The Member Portal is the easiest and most secure way to access information about your plan. With 24/7 access to your Fidelis Care account, you can view and print new ID cards, check your claims, and access your plan documents. To create a secure online member account, visit members.fideliscare.org and click “Register.”
Step 2: Get to Know Your Benefits

Fidelis Care at Home offers a wide range of services as needed. Services include Care Management,  Durable Medical Equipment, Home Health Care, and more. You can learn more about your benefits by reading your Member Handbook. It covers important information for you to know, such as how to access services including urgent and emergency care.  

Step 3: Schedule Your Annual Checkup
It’s important to see your primary care provider (PCP) every year for a checkup to see if there are any changes to your health. Seeing your PCP every year can help you stay healthy and keep down your medical costs. Call your PCP to make an appointment. There is no copay for your annual checkup.
Step 4: Work with Your Care Manager
When you join Fidelis Care at Home, you will be assigned a Care Manager and Service Coordinator. They will help you access the services that you need to remain  independent and healthy.  Your Care Manager will work with you and your providers to create a care plan for you. The plan is called a Person Centered Service Plan (PCSP).

Healthy Living Tips

Fall Prevention

Falls can be prevented. These are some steps you can take to make your home safer:

  • Remove things you could trip over, like rugs, toys, shoes, and cords.
  • Add grab bars if you have trouble getting in and out of the shower, or on and of the toilet.
  • Put railings on your staircases inside and outside of your home.
  • Make sure your home has lots of light. Add more light bulbs, or brighter ones.

Where is the Right Place to Go for Health Care?

Whether you feel sick, need ongoing treatment, or want a checkup, it is important to know where to go for health care.

  • Provider's Office: Go to your provider's office for regular checkups and preventive care.
  • Urgent Care: Visit an urgent care facility if your situation is not too serious and it cannot wait. Ailments may include sprained ankles, small cuts, or mild breathing troubles.
  • Emergency Room (ER): The ER at a hospital is for serious or life-threatening problems, like severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness in an arm or leg, or slurred speech.

Incontinence

Urinary incontinence means a person leaks urine by accident. Bladder control issues can be embarrassing and cause people to stop normal activities. But incontinence can often be stopped or controlled.

Incontinence can happen for many reasons, including urinary tract infections, vaginal infection or irritation, or  constipation. Some medications can cause bladder control problems that last a short time. When incontinence lasts longer, it may be due to:

  • Weak bladder or pelvic floor muscles
  • Overactive bladder muscles
  • Damage to nerves that control the bladder from diseases
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Prostatitis-inflamed or infected prostate
