WHY IS AUTHOR REACHING OUT TO ME?

No need to hesitate, your health plan sent us your way

We know this might feel out of the blue, but your health plan thought we’d be a perfect fit for you. Author Health is a real medical service, not a sales call. We're here to support your cognitive and emotional health, in coordination with your existing doctors, as part of your plan's covered benefits, often at no cost or low cost to you.

Don't just take our word for it

If something feels off, that's reasonable. Here are a few independent ways to confirm we're a real medical team working with your health plan.

Call us directly

A real person will answer the phone, listen to your questions, and walk you through who we are.

Ask your health plan

Your insurance can confirm Author Health is one of their care partners. Call the member services number on the back of your card.

We're CMS-certified

Author Health is a certified provider in CMS's Guide program for traditional Medicare. CMS is the federal agency that runs Medicare.

Meet our team

Real people, real credentials. You can see our leadership team and clinicians, with names and photos, on our website.

What this isn't

A quick scan of what we're not so that you can rule out the worries.

  • We're not a sales call
    There's nothing on this call you have to buy. Our medical services are paid by your health plan, not out of your pocket.
  • We're not replacing your doctor
    We work alongside your existing primary care doctor. They stay with your doctor.
  • We're not asking for sensitive information just to talk
    You don't need to share your Social Security number, banking info, or payment details to have a conversation with us about your care options.
  • We're not a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medicare salesperson
    We don't enroll you in coverage, switch your insurance, or sell supplemental policies like Medigap.
  • We're not pressuring you
    Take your time. Ask questions. Hang up. Call back. There's no rush and no penalty for waiting until you’re ready to get extra support.

Here's what we actually do

Cognitive and emotional health care that works alongside your existing doctors. Here's what that looks like:

Talk therapy

Stress, grief, life changes, and sleep that's been off. Our team really hears you and helps you work through what's been weighing on you.

Medication support

Not all medications mix. We coordinate with your other providers to make sure everything you take works together safely.

Care coordination

We work alongside your primary care doctor and any other providers. Appointments happen from home by phone or video, with help from our team if you need it.
