Care Management Programs

 Priority Partners is happy to offer a one-of-a-kind health program for our plan members ... at no cost!

Participating members are put in one of three levels. Depending on the members level, they will get a variety of support, tools, and services that will help them to better understand and manage their condition.

Join us today and see first-hand how... improving your health can enrich your life.

LEVEL 1
Complex Case
Management

This level is for members with complex medical conditions, or mutiple conditions.  Members in this level will be called by a care manager who will watch their health status, help them make a self-management plan, and help them to find the right care. Some examples of conditions that qualify for this level are:

  • High risk pregnancy
  • Cancer
  • HIV/AIDS
  • End stage Renal Disease
  • Serious Pediatric Conditions
  • Stroke, spinal cord or brain injuries that require rehabilitation
LEVEL 2
Monitored
Case Management
This level is for members who have less complicated conditions (such as less severe asthma or diabetes) but have a risk for developing other conditions or complications. These members may benefit from ongoing monitoring and help with staying on a healthy track. Care managers will track these members’ health status and needs over time, encourage progress toward their health goals, and periodically give them health information about exploring and keeping a healthy lifestyle.
LEVEL 3
Lifestyle Management
There are some members with conditions that are more easily kept under control. These members will receive routine mailings of material about their condition. This material will keep these members’ self-management skills up-to-date so that they can continue to live full lives and avoid any complications.

What is a CARE MANAGER?

Care managers are skilled nurses and social workers who provide support, guidance and encouragement in helping our members manage their health. Working closely with our members and their health care providers, care managers:

  • Assessing each member’s physical, psycho-social, spiritual and financial needs
  • Educating members on ways to manage their health
  • Assisting with referrals to specialty providers
  • Coordinating care with our outreach and health education department, home health and other health and community agencies
  • Providing ongoing communication to check member’s progress and review for continuing services

OTHER SERVICES

Other population health-based services include:

  • Periodic mailings of educational materials focused on increasing self-management skills and preventing complications
  • Communicating to the member and health care provider about medical and pharmacy claims
