What is the Cholesterol Management Program?

The Cholesterol Management Program is a special Kaiser Permanente program to help members at high risk of heart disease to lower their cholesterol. If you already have heart disease, this program will help you slow the progression of your disease. The best ways to lower your cholesterol levels are by eating low fat foods, exercising, and if necessary, taking medications.

A specially trained nurse or pharmacist, under the guidance of a physician specialist will be your personal care manager. They will help you make any needed lifestyle changes through phone calls, mailings and referrals to health education programs.

With the aid of a computer program, your cholesterol nurse or pharmacist will assess your possible risk for heart disease and track your blood tests and medications.

You will receive reminder letters to let you know:

• When to come in for another blood test.
• The results of your last blood test.
• The next steps to take based on your risk evaluation.

Who is the Program for?

The Cholesterol Management Program is for anyone with high cholesterol who is also at high risk for heart disease, or for anyone who already has heart disease.

Please note: Patients are seen by referral only.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
