Care Management

The Care Management services uses a member/caregiver approach to promote availability of appropriate care and resources while maximizing the member’s quality of life and health care benefits. The assigned Case Manager works directly with the member and the family/caregiver(s) to develop an Individualized Care Plan (ICP) that is focused on increasing access to resources and services that support the member’s health needs. 


Complex Case Management (CCM) is provided to members who have experienced a critical event or diagnosis that requires extensive use of resources and requires oversight to navigate the needed delivery of care and services. Case management becomes complex when the illness and/or conditions and complexity are severe and require an intense level of management beyond that of Case Management.


In addition to complex cases with co-morbid conditions and high utilization, the CCM team offers specialty focus areas including: 


  • Three or more acute hospital admissions per year.
  • Two or more emergency department visits in a three-month period. 
  • Complex medical needs that require close monitoring, including but not limited to transplant, transgender, high-risk OB, high-risk pediatrics.
  • Behavioral health conditions, including but not limited to depression, substance abuse, anxiety, autism, severe mental health illness, and maternal mental health.
  • Life expectancy of six months or less.
  • Complex psychosocial or functional requirements.
