A serious illness diagnosis can come with a range of questions and emotions. Palliative care providers focus on offering relief from symptoms and stress with the goal of improving the quality of life for both the patient and their loved ones. Different from hospice care, which focuses on end-of-life support and generally lasts less than six months, palliative care helps people live with a serious illness and can be provided for as long as it’s needed.

Vynca is a telehealth palliative care provider that focuses on addressing physical, emotional and social impacts of a disease. It’s in network for commercial and Medicare Advantage members throughout Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington, and for Individual members in Oregon and Washington. Vynca doesn’t replace traditional medical care; its specialists collaborate with a member’s established primary care provider to offer additional care coordination and support tailored for serious illness. Vynca’s providers must be licensed in the state in which the member resides.

Vynca uses telehealth (phone and video), which allows for more accessibility, and they coordinate closely with each member’s established care team. Its providers focus on empowering those living with a disease and mitigating ongoing symptoms in the comfort of their own home. Depending on a member’s diagnosis, Vynca will coordinate and connect them with a range of palliative care physicians, as well as nursing and social service providers, who know their care plan. Services are available 24 hours a day.

Members can learn more and access Vynca services by visiting vyncacare.com and completing a contact form, or by calling 1-888-227-8884.
