Medical management
The goal of our medical management team is to help members reach their best levels of health. A care manager is assigned to each member. They’re a part of the medical management team. And their job is to make sure members get all the care and services they need.
Care management
Care management
Our care management department provides support to members based on each individual’s risks and needs. These care needs are assessed by licensed nurses, social workers and counselors, as well as nonclinical professionals. We use a biopsychosocial (BPS) model to help us identify what care our members need. Then, the integrated case manager performs a health risk assessment to determine the member’s medical, behavioral health and BPS status.
Care managers work with members, their families, primary care physicians (PCPs), psychiatrists, substance abuse counselors or any other health care team members to achieve an efficient and cost-effective care plan. Care management teaches members about their specific diseases and how to prevent symptoms from getting worse. Our goal is to maintain or improve our members’ health.

Pregnancy outreach and high-risk obstetrics
Special health care needs
