New mobile app makes it easier to connect with Spira Care

Blue KC members in plans with exclusive access to Spira Care Centers can download a new mobile app that makes it even easier to connect with Spira Care.

Spira Care uses athenahealth, an electronic medical record, to make health information accessible through the patient portal. The new athenaPatient app helps patients connect with Spira Care from their smartphone.

Patients can use the app to:

• Log in via facial recognition and touch ID
• Access health information like lab or test results from a Spira Care appointment
• Send and receive secure messages from the Care Team
• View upcoming appointments
• Join virtual appointments

Members enrolled in plans with Spira Care can get started with the app in three simple steps.
