Member Support

questions
How do I search for a member?

You can search for members using several methods:

Primary Search Options

  • Name: Last name, first name, or partial matches
  • Email: Full email address or partial match
  • Phone: Last 4 digits or full phone number
  • Member ID: Exact member identification number

Search Tips

  • Use partial matches if exact spelling is unknown
  • Try different search criteria if first attempt fails
  • Always verify member identity before accessing information
What should I do if I can't find a member?

If initial searches don't return results, try these steps:

  1. Ask the member to spell their name clearly
  2. Try searching by phone number or email instead
  3. Check for common spelling variations
  4. Search using partial information
  5. Verify the member is enrolled in the system

Still can't find them? The member may not be enrolled yet, or there may be a data entry issue. Escalate to Tier 1 support for further assistance.

How do I reset a member's password?

Password resets require proper security verification:

Security Verification Steps

  1. Confirm member identity using security questions
  2. Verify the email address on file
  3. Ensure you're speaking with the actual member

Reset Process

  1. Navigate to the member's profile
  2. Click the "Reset Password" option
  3. Confirm the email address
  4. Send reset instructions
  5. Advise member to check their email

What information can I share with family members?

HIPAA and privacy regulations strictly govern information sharing:

When in doubt: Ask the member to join the call or contact legal/compliance for guidance.
