Specialized care, comfort and guidance when you need it most
Wellmark’s Case Management Program works closely with members who have severe or complex health conditions. If you are part of the Case Management Program, you will have the security and comfort of working with a case management nurse who's knowledgeable of your unique health situation.
Case management nurses are clinically skilled registered nurses committed to developing individualized care plans. They are there to help you cope with difficult health situations, so you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Who needs case management?
Through claims data and referrals, the case management team identifies Wellmark members who may benefit from the program. In fact, a case management nurse may reach out to you before you know you need this type of care. Then, they use data to help bridge gaps that might occur between you and your health care providers.
Here are just a few situations that may benefit from our Case Management Program:
- Head injuries and strokes
- High-risk pregnancies
- Palliative and end-of-life care
- Neonatal intensive care
- Progressive neuromuscular diseases
- Severe burns
- Spinal cord injuries
- Mental health such as major depression
- Alcohol and substance abuse disorders
