What does a care manager do?
What does a care manager do?
Care managers work with both adults and children facing complex health care needs. They share info about your health conditions and ways to take care of yourself. In addition to finding the care that’s right for you, they can also help you:
- Learn more about health conditions you may have, like asthma, diabetes or obesity
- Arrange rides to health care visits with a non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) service
- Work with your primary care provider (PCP), family and specialists to get you the services and care you need
- Get special equipment and home health services if you need them
Does your child have a disability that qualifies them for PH-95 benefits? If yes, a care manager can help them transition from their CHIP benefits over to their new Medicaid benefits.
Learn more about the PH-95 Category benefit.
To help decide which services best meet your needs, the care manager works with:
- You
- Your provider
- Your representative or guardian (if you have one)
