Case management
Case managers work with our members to help them to better understand the types of services we offer to them and how to participate in addressing their own care.
Addressing physical and behavioral health
Our case managers help make healthcare easier and less overwhelming for our members through our digital services like Concierge Care, focus on improving physical health, and promoting behavioral health.
Your patients may already be working with one of our case managers. If not, or if they need help contacting their case manager, please have them call Member Services.

Case manager responsibilities
Our case managers may call our members if:
- They or you, their healthcare provider, think case management might help the member
- They’ve just gotten out of the hospital and need help with follow-up visits to other doctors
- They’re going to the emergency room (ER) often for nonurgent care that could be handled by you, their healthcare provider
- They call our 24-hour Nurse Help Line and need more follow-up for ongoing care
- They have serious physical problems and need more help managing their health
- They have behavioral health problems and need more help working with all of their doctors
Case managers can also help with:
- Setting up healthcare services for the member
- Getting referrals and prior authorizations
- Checking a member’s plan of care
From time to time, members may have questions about calls they receive from one of our case managers. When we call, a nurse or social worker will:
- Always identify themselves with their name, title, and position with Wellpoint
- Tell the member about the services we offer
- Talk to the member about their health and how they’re handling different parts of their life
