Case Management
Our Case Management program is a collaborative effort providing assistance to both providers and members in the coordination of complex healthcare. The program is designed to educate and assist members to become empowered, exercise their options to access appropriate services and optimize their healthcare benefits to meet individual health needs.
Your patients may already be working with one of our case managers. If not, or if they need help contacting their case manager, please have them contact Member Services .
