  • Asthma Management Program gives members with asthma information about the causes of asthma and how to manage symptoms. It also provides members with supplies to reduce asthma triggers at home.
  • Complex Case Management Program is for all members with one or more ongoing health conditions. Participants work with a Care Manager to create a care plan based on their health goals. This helps with practicing self-care, finding useful resources and managing complex medical conditions or addressing medical problems that need urgent attention.
  • Care Transitions Program is for members who have been sent home from a facility (hospital or skilled nursing). Members get help following a care plan that supports their ability to live and thrive at home and avoid going back to the hospital.
