Case management
Wellpoint has case managers who support coordinating healthcare services for people with certain health conditions or special needs. If you need case management services, we will refer you to a case manager. Your case manager will work with you and your primary care provider (PCP) to set up a plan of care for your condition. You will also learn steps you can take to care for yourself. Case management services are for:
- Children with special healthcare needs
- People who are pregnant and for postpartum care
- People with HIV/AIDS
- Those who are homeless
- People with physical or developmental disabilities
- Children in state-supervised care
To learn more about case management, call Member Services at 833-707-0867 (TTY 711).
