Care Management

The Care Management Program at Neighborhood Health Plan was designed to assist primary care providers and other health care providers in obtaining and sustaining the most appropriate, accessible, and cost-effective health care for NHP members. Our nurse care managers are available to:

• Collaborate with primary care physicians, members, families, health care providers, social service agencies and community organizations in developing and executing care management plans for members with complex health care needs
• Support and reinforce members in their efforts to adhere to treatment interventions recommended by their health care providers
• Advocate for members to obtain the most appropriate health care services available, through education, referral and negotiation
• Educate members, families and health care providers regarding benefits, availability of services, community resources, entitlement programs, and health care alternatives
• Educate members and families regarding health risks, preventative health measures, treatment plans, and medications
• Identify and facilitate access to social service agencies, community organizations, patient support groups, and other adjunct services
• Participate, as needed, in case conferences, family meetings and informational session

NHP care managers are assigned to primary care sites throughout the service area, thus facilitating the development of consistent professional relationships, efficient communication, and an intimate understanding of local resources and health care providers. We have care managers with expertise in the areas of asthma, diabetes, pediatrics and peri-natal care.
