What does a case manager do?

What does a case manager do?

Case managers are nurses and social workers who work with both adults and children. They share info about your health conditions and ways to take care of yourself. They can also help you:

 

  • Find a primary care provider (PCP) or specialist
  • Schedule doctors’ visits
  • Find specialists and behavioral health services near you
  • Get rides to your doctor, pharmacy or hospital
  • Get medical and dental services, supplies and equipment
  • Find community resources and educational materials
  • Find home and community-based services

 

To help decide which services best meet your needs, the case manager works with:

 

  • You
  • Your provider
  • Your representative or guardian (if you have one)

 

During COVID-19, your case manager may work with you by phone or in person. They’ll ask you about your health and care needs. You can have family and others present, if you wish them to take part.
