How Elevate Direct Supports You and Your Family

Sometimes finding time in your schedule and room in your budget (at the same time!) to do things like making medical appointments, getting counseling, joining a gym, or caring for family members can be tough. Instead of giving you a sense of relief, managing your health and wellness can start to feel like a burden. Wouldn’t it be great if taking care of yourself and the people you love actually contributed to your well-being rather than stressing you out?

Whether you’re working for yourself, working with a fixed income, or working hard to make ends meet for your family, you shouldn’t have to work so hard to live well both physically and emotionally. That’s where Elevate Direct from First Commerce Credit Union comes in. Elevate Direct is a comprehensive wellness program that makes it easier and more affordable to live your best life.

Don’t have enough time in your day to go to medical appointments or just prefer to have care providers meet you where you’re at? Perhaps you’re self-employed and looking for more convenient access to care, because in your world time really is money. No matter what your situation, First Commerce Credit Union’s Elevate Direct offers easily accessible virtual health appointments for primary care and even urgent care.

Maybe you’re establishing healthcare on your own for the first time, either because you’re aging off a parent’s health plan or experiencing other changes in your personal life. In addition to giving you the option for convenient tele-health appointments, Elevate Direct offers Personal Health Advocate services that can help you find the best provider for your needs and assist with transferring your medical records. A Personal Health Advocate can also take a lot of the stress out of dealing with healthcare bureaucracy. They can answer questions, explain your benefits, untangle your medical bills, negotiate payments and more.

Looking for a way to save money on prescriptions, dental care and vision care? That’s part of the program too, even when you need more than just basic care. Elevate Direct covers both you and your family members, so whether you’ve got kids who probably will need braces or a spouse who wears glasses, this program can make it more affordable to care for the ones you love.

Living your healthiest life isn’t just about medical appointments though. It’s about creating well-being for yourself. First Commerce’s Elevate Direct can be your personal support system for reducing stress, feeling better day to day, and being able to focus more energy on the things that matter to you.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. When you or someone you love need to talk to somebody, the last thing you need to hear is that it will take several weeks to get an appointment. Elevate Direct gives you the option to get the support you need quickly and easily. Say goodbye to the added stress of having to travel to an appointment or juggle your family’s schedule around the next opening on a provider’s in-person calendar. With Elevate Direct, virtual visits with mental health experts are typically available within 48 hours for those dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, substance abuse, grief and a wide variety of disorders. Not sure how to get started? Take advantage of unlimited no-cost virtual consults with licensed counselors, marriage and family counselors, psychologists and clinical social workers to find the right support for your situation.

Maybe one of your challenges is that you’re part of the sandwich generation: taking care of aging parents and your own kids at the same time. That’s a lot to juggle mentally, not to mention financially. Navigating childcare and eldercare options doesn’t have to feel like another full-time job when you have access to the right support. Elevate Direct has resources for all ages and life stages. It can help you navigate finding and affording support for older family members, while also helping you figure out childcare, find school-age programs and even plan for sending kids to college.

Maybe one of the things on your to-do list is getting in better shape, but finding a way to make that happen has been more of a challenge than you anticipated. You know that staying active is great for both your body and your mind, you just need a pathway that fits your schedule, budget and personality. Whether you prefer going to a gym or working out to on-demand videos, Elevate Direct can help you save money on doing the things that make you feel more like you.

Need somebody to watch your pet, clean your house, mow your lawn or fix your car? Elevate Direct even has resources for things like that too!

Living your best life becomes easier when you’re healthy, supported and in a good mental space. No matter where you are in your life’s journey, it helps to feel like you can get answers to your questions and get help connecting to the right resources for the life you’re building. And now you can. More wellness, less stress: that’s the power of Elevate Direct from First Commerce Credit Union.

Elevate Direct is not health insurance, nor is it a substitute or replacement for health insurance. It’s a wellness enhancement option that can be used in conjunction with the insurance you currently have or even during those time when you may be in between health insurance plans.
