What is Case Management?
Case Management means getting extra support in taking care of your health. It is a program for members with complex or chronic medical conditions that are hard to manage. We offer this program free of charge. A case manager will be dedicated to helping you get the care you need.
A case manager’s role is to identify alternative care options and educate members about the resources available to them. They will work with your doctors and health care providers to help you get the most out of your health care. They figure out what kind of care is best for you and support you through treatment. Case managers make sure you understand your health plan benefits and help you adjust your care plan as needed.
Who is Case Management for?
Case management is most beneficial to members who have chronic, complex or more than one medical condition such as diabetes, depression, COPD and other illnesses.
