FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How do I find a provider in my area?
Depending on the types of discounted benefits purchased, members can find a list of providers in their area on our website, www.hhchealth.com. We offer two different types of networks: Regional Networks (California and Colorado), National Wellness and National Chiropractic networks. To access providers in the regional networks, you can look them up by state, city, name or modality. The national networks allow you to find them by zip code. You can also call us at 888-817-5566 if you have questions regarding providers in our Regional networks; or, 866-757-7780 if accessing the National Wellness or Chiropractic networks. If internet access is not convenient for you, you can contact us at 888-817-5566 and request a list of providers in your area.

What’s the process for scheduling an appointment with an HHC provider?

There are different procedures depending on the network used:

Regional Networks: For the regional network, you can go contact the provider directly and set up an appointment. Once you arrive, the provider must check your eligibility, which they can do online or by calling customer service at 888-817-5566.

National Networks: We require you to contact the national Member Services number prior to seeing a provider from either of the national wellness networks. See phone numbers above.


How can I make sure that I’m really getting a discount, and the provider isn’t just raising his base price to make up the discount?
As a service to members, HHC publishes the rate lists of many of its practitioners on its website. If the listings are not available on the site, members can call the HHC helpline at 888-815-5566 to request pricing information on specific providers. We recommend that members ask a provider’s rate schedule before presenting their Health & Healing Card. Also, when you call Member Services when you want to see a provider from one of the National Networks, you will receive the fee schedule and discount prior to your appointment.

How do I purchase a Health & Healing Card?
If affiliated with an employer or insurance company, you will receive preferred pricing by signing up through a Personal Webpage set up by HHC for your group. On the online application, you’ll have the option to pay monthly through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) linked to your credit card or checking account. You can also purchase your membership on an annual basis by credit card, EFT or check. If not affiliated with a group, you can go online to HHC’s general website and fill out the online application.

Do you make medical recommendations and refer members to specific providers?
HHC does not render medical advice to members for any reason. Further, we do not make provider recommendations based on a member’s medical condition or need. All providers in our networks are qualified and credentialed health care professionals and Member Services offers provider locator assistance as a referral resource only. On many of our programs, a 24 Hour Nurseline may be part of your benefit, if you have specific health questions.

What do I have to do to reactivate or cancel my membership once it expires?
 
On month-to-month memberships, you can cancel at anytime but will not be prorated for partial month’s fees. On annual memberships, 30 days before your membership is about to lapse, you will receive an email stating that HHC will be sending you a new Health & Healing Card and charging your credit card or deduct your account via EFT. It will also give you two weeks from the time of the email the opportunity to discontinue or cancel your membership. To cancel, you will respond to that email with your desire to cancel at that time.

Can I nominate my Provider to participate?
 
If a Provider does not presently participate and you want them to join the HHC Network(s), we will attempt to contact them and recruit them at your request. They will have to comply with our screening process and agree to reduce their fees by the agreed-upon discount rate. They must be approved prior to participation.

I’ve lost my card; is there a charge to get a new one?
If you lose your Health & Healing card, you can receive a new one for $5 per card, which includes first class postage. This is payable only by credit card.

Can I have an extra card for my Family Members?
Each family membership includes 2 cards for the member and spouse. Other immediate family members can present these cards to any participating HHC provider and still receive the program discounts. It’s a good idea to get an additional card if the family member and eligible dependent have different last names. The fee per extra card is $5 and must be paid by credit card. All extra cards will have the same ID number as the primary Member’s Card.

Can I have an extra card for my Family Members?

Each family membership includes 2 cards (1 per member/1 per spouse). Other immediate family members can present these cards to any participating HHC provider and still receive the program discounts. It’s a good idea to get an additional card if the family member and eligible dependent have different last names. The fee per extra card is $5 and must be paid by credit card by phone. All extra cards will have the same ID number as the primary Member’s Card.

I have a family dependent who is away in college, can they be part of my HHC membership?
Yes. As long as they are under 25 years of age and still have permanent residence in the Member’s household.

If I have general benefit questions or requests regarding the Health & Healing Card, or have a dispute with a provider in getting treatment/service, who do I call?
Call HHC at 888-817-5566.
