Disease Management Program

The Health Plan’s Disease Management and Health Promotion Programs are developed to proactively identify populations with, or at risk for, chronic medical conditions. We currently manage members with diabetes, chronic heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Health Plan’s pregnant members are also monitored with the intent to identify those at high risk for premature delivery.

“Disease management is a system of coordinated health interventions and communications for populations with conditions in which patient self-care efforts are significant.” -- Disease Management Association of America

Our disease management programs support the practitioner-patient relationship and plan of care, emphasize the prevention of exacerbations and complications using evidence based practice guidelines and patient empowerment strategies. The Health Plan programs continuously evaluate clinical, humanistic, and economic outcomes with the goal of improving overall health status.
