Care management programs we offer help address members who are:
- Seriously ill or have complex conditions
- Managing a chronic condition
- At risk for developing serious or chronic illnesses
- Recently hospitalized and could benefit from after care or transitions in care support
We identify members based on multiple sources, including medical and pharmacy claims, and other self-reported information.
Interventions are designed to help members avoid illness, boost wellness, enhance quality outcomes, and decrease health care costs by addressing gaps in care and medication management in accordance with their clinician’s or physician’s treatment plan. These interventions may include:
- Educational and informational materials to help members understand and manage their medications, make appropriate lifestyle choices, and find additional resources for support
- Ways to plan for effective doctor visits
- Preventive screening and lab reminders
- Review of medications to address any potential safety issues, adherence, or other reminders
- Reviewing social determinants of health, such as food insecurity and financial issues, and offering support to help address those needs
- Case management and navigation support after a hospitalization
Some members receive additional nurse coaching by phone. We reach out to treating providers if there are specific concerns raised that you may need to be aware of.
We welcome provider and member referrals. If you think a member could benefit from care management, please complete our Patient Referral for Health Management Programs & Services Form and return it to the fax number indicated. Or, call Health Management Programs at 1-800-392-0098, Option 1.
