How Care Management can help
When you use the care management nurse, extender or behavioral health specialist you get the right care at the right time in the appropriate environment. They help by:
- Answering your health-related questions
- Coordinating care between multiple doctors
- Helping you understand conditions
- Supporting you through lifestyle changes to help manage conditions
- Supporting you throughout your illness, from beginning to recovery
- Helping you make sure all your healthcare needs are met, providing you with a holistic approach and offering resources available to your specific needs
Support for medical conditions and diagnoses
When you or a loved one is sick, hurt, or dealing with a new diagnosis, trying to navigate the healthcare system can be overwhelming. Your care management team can help you understand your benefits, answer care questions, and even find high-quality, cost-effective providers in your plan’s network. Your care management nurse can help with many diagnoses, including:
- Cancer
- Respiratory illnesses
- Heart conditions
- Behavioral health conditions
- Injuries or emergency hospitalizations
- Pediatric conditions
- New diagnosis
- Recent elective or non elective surgeries
