MESSA makes the difference

We’re here for you when you need us most

MESSA’s service to our members is second to none. The Donovan family found that out when their baby was born with a rare genetic disorder that needed treatment right away.

They reached out to their local field representative — one of 16 throughout the state. He worked with MESSA’s Member Service Center to get all the right pieces in place to save the Donovans’ newborn son.

“I could talk to a human being. I could ask for help. I could say, ‘Please consider.’ And they did. You got to talk to somebody, and not a computer. And I mattered.”
Connie High, MESSA member
“I could focus on getting treatment instead of worrying about how I’m possibly going to pay for any of this. When I signed up for it, I had no idea I had any health issues to address.”
Patricia Blevins, MESSA member
“My son was dying and we still had no answers. … The fact that the MESSA member service specialist saw what was happening and suggested the Medical Case Management program changed everything for us.”
Heidi Tyner, MESSA member
