If your care plan includes follow up support such as needing additional services like imaging, specialty, or referred care to the community; filling a prescription; or getting a vaccine; a Care Navigator with TimelyCare will reach out to you directly to support you in your next steps and answer any questions you may have. Care Navigators can help you locate and access resources on the UW Tacoma campus and in the community, help you find a discounted rate on a prescription if needed, and even help you get connected to Apple Care if you don’t have health insurance and need it for continuing care.
