Integrated Care Management

Care management is everything we do to help you get and stay healthy.

To make sure you get the best possible care, we use an integrated care management model. This model means that, when appropriate, our medical, behavioral health (mental health and/or substance use) and social care managers work closely with you and each other to coordinate the care you need.

We provide three types of integrated care management services:

Our complex care medical management program is for members who have long-lasting medical and behavioral health (mental health and/or substance use) conditions.

Your complex care medical management team understands the problems that people with special health care needs have. We work with you to arrange for care, services and equipment; teach you about your condition(s); and design the best plan of care for your needs. We coordinate with your care team (doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners and care managers) to make sure you get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. We are able to visit you in your home or community, or talk with you on the phone to ensure your needs are being met.

You may benefit from our complex care medical management if you are dealing with:

  • Multiple health conditions
  • Intensive-care newborn needs
  • Cancer
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Organ transplant(s)
  • Severe disability or impairment
