We're here for our members
Our dedicated case managers work closely with the member, the member's families and the member's health care team to coordinate quality care, in the right place at the right time.
Our case management program is designed to assist members in evaluating their current health care needs. A case manager will work with a member and the member's health care team to coordinate services to meet needs in a quality and cost-effective manner. Based on the member's Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas contractual benefits, the case manager also will research resources that promote quality and cost-effectiveness health care.
Situations that may benefit from the case management program could include but are not limited to:
Our case management approach is to make connections between our members health needs and well-being involvement. We know that everyone's needs are different, so we provide special attention to ensure case management is specific to each member. We do so by:
Referrals are received from multiple sources such as the member, family or caregiver, physician or other health care providers, or employers.
When a referral is received, the member’s current needs, medical history and available medical benefits are evaluated.
The case manager provides information to the member on the cost efficient use of benefits, potential alternative use of benefits and/or coordination of existing benefits.
The case manager works with the member/family, physician and other members of the treatment team in the development of a plan.
