DSM provides several important programs and resources to give you more support for your health and wellness.
Chat with a doctor by phone or online, anytime and anywhere. The BCBS telehealth program is provided through Horizon CareOnline. If you are in a PPO plan, you pay a $5 copayment for medical and behavioral health visits. If you are in the CDHP, you pay no more than $64 for medical health visits, and what you pay for behavioral health visits varies based on the service/provider.

Costs for services, such as an MRI or CAT scan, can vary depending on where you go. Sometimes the differences are significant. For example, the cost for an MRI can range anywhere from $300 to $3,000, but a higher price doesn’t necessarily guarantee higher quality. Since you share in the cost of services, AIM Specialty Health may help lower your costs.
If you are enrolled in a DSM medical plan and need a diagnostic imaging service, talk with your doctor about the AIM program. AIM will consult with your doctor’s office about your service. Once your doctor selects an imaging facility, you and AIM will be notified. AIM will contact you if there are good alternative providers based on cost and quality that you may want to consider. If you decide to use another provider, AIM will help you schedule your appointment with the new provider. There is no additional cost to you for this service.
AIM Specialty Health’s sleep management program works with your doctor to coordinate care from diagnosis to treatment. If you need treatment for a sleep disorder, discuss the AIM program with your doctor. The program includes outpatient and home sleep testing and therapy. If you require sleep testing, your doctor will contact AIM Specialty Health, and depending on your medical condition, you may be asked to complete the sleep study in your home.
AIM provides support with:
If you need continued treatment, AIM will review your care with your doctor quarterly to ensure that you are receiving appropriate care and services.
If you suffer from back and joint pain, AIM Specialty Health’s MSK program will work with your provider and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) to help with interventional pain management and joint arthroscopy (hip, knee, back and shoulder).
Horizon BCBS and AIM use a multifaceted approach to help ensure you and your family have access to appropriate, safe and affordable in-network specialty care in the areas of radiology, oncology, sleep studies and surgical procedures.
