USING THE TRICARE SELECT NAVIGATOR PROGRAM
Will I be assigned a dedicated Accolade nurse?
Yes. You’ll connect with an Accolade nurse the first time you call. During that call, the nurse will let you know that they are your dedicated nurse. They will also give you their direct phone extension to make calling them easier next time.
Can I talk only to my assigned Accolade nurse?
No. If your dedicated Accolade nurse is not available, you can leave them a voice message or choose to speak to another available nurse. When you send a secure message, your Frontline Care Team is available for quick responses, too.
Can I switch Accolade nurses?
Yes. Just ask and you’ll be assigned a different Accolade nurse.
Will Accolade nurses ever contact me directly?
Yes. Accolade nurses may check in with you to make sure you are doing well and are getting the care you need. They may reach out to you to follow up on an earlier conversation. For example, your nurse may connect with you to ask about an office visit with the new doctor they helped you choose.
How and when can I contact Accolade?
Call 833-400-9603 Monday through Friday, 8AM to MIDNIGHT ET. If you need to reach someone outside normal business hours, TRICARE's 24-hour Nurse Advice Line will be available at the same number (but please dial 911 if it is an emergency).
Can Accolade provide support if I’m traveling?
Yes. Beneficiaries can ask Accolade for help understanding available coverage while traveling in or outside of the United States. If you need to find a provider or care facility overseas, Accolade will coordinate with your regional contractor to obtain the appropriate information.
