Disease Management
The Health Plan’s Disease Management and Health Promotion Programs are multi-disciplinary and continuum-based systems developed to proactively identify populations with, or at risk for, chronic medical conditions. Populations currently being managed include 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.
