As of October 1, 2019, Community HealthFirst Medicare Advantage is now Community Health Plan of Washington (CHPW) Medicare Advantage. We’re changing our name to make it clearer that our Medicare plans are offered by CHPW. The name change does not have any impact on our contracts with providers. Our name may be different, but you can still count on us for quality service. Note that our Medicare website address is also changing to medicare.chpw.org.
The name change also does not affect member plan benefits. Members may continue to use their Community HealthFirst ID cards until the end of the year. Starting January 1, 2020, they will be sent a new ID card with the new name.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Customer Service at 1-800-942-0247 (TTY Relay: Dial 711). They are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven day a week.
Many Americans do not get enough sleep and this can contribute to a number of health issues. Taking a nap during the day can help your body restore itself and promotes brain and heart health. A 20-minute nap has a variety of health benefits – from improved mood, to better focus and memory function. In some cultures, napping is even prescribed as a health treatment by doctors!
