Complex Chronic Conditions Case Management Program
The Complex Chronic Conditions Case Management Program is a special Kaiser Permanente program designed to provide members who have more than one ongoing health condition the highest quality care. This one to three-month program will help you manage your ongoing health conditions so that you can be as healthy and active as possible. Any of your Kaiser Permanente health care practitioners can refer you to the program or you may refer yourself. The referral will be screened by the Complex Chronic Conditions team. If the program is right for you, you will be contacted to schedule an intake interview. A specially trained nurse and social worker will work with you and with your primary care physician to develop a plan to help you manage your health care. Your case manager will offer you help and support, but you will need to actively work on changes that you want to make; this program works best when you take an active part in developing and implementing your personal care plan. If you feel this program may be right for you, call for more information. For Kaiser Permanente members only.
