You're invited: Connections Application Webinar

Save the date! Upcoming webinars will take place on June 28, July 12, and July 19.

The Connections app webinar: A free solution to support your Ohio Medicaid Managed Care members with substance use disorder covers how you can provide the Connections app (created by CHESS Health *) at no cost to you or your Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) members. The Connections app is an evidence-based smartphone app that helps individuals adhere to their treatment plan and stay in recovery. The goal is to ensure that individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) have access to the support they need, wherever and whenever they need it —including between their appointments with you.

Connections helps patients build healthy habits, reduce isolation, and celebrate achievements. The Connections app includes:

  • An existing robust virtual community with 24/7 support.
  • Moderation of lively discussion groups.
  • Video support meetings to create meaningful engagement.
  • Trained and professional staff of certified peer recovery specialists who have lived experience with SUD and mental health.

Anthem has contracted with CHESS Health to make the Connections App free to both you and your Anthem members.

Speakers: Stephanie Romney, senior customer success consultant and Dwayne Blair, certified peer, from CHESS Health.

Dates and times: 

  • June 28 at 12:30 p.m. 
  • July 12 at 8:30 p.m.
  • July 19 at 3 p.m.
