What the record covers

Enhanced Care Management coordinates care for eligible members with complex needs. Community Supports can address needs such as housing navigation, nutrition and asthma-related conditions. Start with the member’s health plan rather than assuming every support is available everywhere.

Make the next question specific.

What is the plan’s referral process, response time and escalation route for an unresolved request?

Limits & eligibility

Eligibility, covered support and implementation vary. Housing navigation is not a guaranteed housing placement or unrestricted rent payment.
