- signs and symptoms of complications and when to call the doctor
- medication uses and side effects
- dietary restrictions
- You will receive disease-specific educational materials related to your child, available in multiple languages
- Help in preparing for doctor visits
- We will discuss mutually established health care goals for you and your child to achieve
- Navigating plan benefits and the health care system
If your child has recently been discharged from a hospital or rehabilitation facility, our Nurse Care Manager can also assist with the following:
