Intensive Care Management (ICM) provides comprehensive care coordination services for members with multi-morbid conditions. These services help to decrease missed appointments, decrease unnecessary trips to the Emergency Department (ED), and improve member self-care between provider visits. ICM nurses work directly with providers and patients to manage chronic and multi-morbid conditions through a person-centered plan of care.
If you have patients that would benefit from the additional support provided by ICM, call 1.800.440.5071 x2024, or fax a completed ICM Referral Form to 866.361.7242.

This program is for those who are pregnant or have recently given birth and have certain health and social risk factors that may require special monitoring or attention.

They also provide education on pregnancy-related topics, such as breastfeeding, important reportable signs/symptoms during and after pregnancy, and adjustment to the postpartum period.
