CONNECTICARE'S VALUE-ADDED RESOURCES

Tools To Help You Make Informed Decisions

We've enhanced our existing set of online health information and decision-support tools so you can take a more active role in making health decisions and managing your health benefits.

Subimo Healthcare Advisor^TM and PharmaAdvisor^TM are for anybody facing an

important health care decision or needing to learn how to manage a particular condition.

Available at no additional charge to members at www.connecticare.com, this combined suite of tools offers the following:

• Decision guide — Helps you address and act on key health-related decisions. You can obtain information to help you actively participate in health care decisions and prepare for a health care event.
• Hospitals — You can compare hospitals based on factors that are important to you, including experience with the type of treatment you need. You also can do a hospital search, or get an information profile on a particular hospital.
• Drugs — Provides access to information about drug options. You can compare drug treatment options, research drugs used to treat common conditions, profile a specific drug, and check common drug interactions.
• Other resources — Provides a variety of information including questions to ask the doctor, an online medical encyclopedia, community discussions, and links to useful Web sites, organized by health care topic.

Many other Web-based products limit their content to explanations of procedures and conditions. The Subimo knowledge base, however, combines all these basic explanations with quantitative data gathered from dozens of different databases.

Although the Healthcare Advisor and PharmaAdvisor provide information about medical treatments, any messages, advice, opinions or other information contained in the Web site(s) should not be construed as professional medical advice or instruction. Members should always contact their doctor for medical advice and treatment.
