Integrated Care Management Offered at AllWays Health Partners Your Care Circle(YCC) The YCC program is designed to provide individualized, coordinated support and care management to members of all ages who are experiencing a range of medical, psychological, and social health challenges. A holistic and multidisciplinary approach to care management, Care Managers work as part of an interdisciplinary team and visit members in their homes, during hospitalizations, shelters or other public venues. Each interdisciplinary team is comprised of a Medical Care Manager, Behavioral Health Care Manager, Social Care Manager and Community Health Workers. The program aims to increase engagement with these historically hard-to-reach members through the use of novel approaches (e.g., home visits, phone calls, letters, hospital visits, community health workers) and meet a member s bio-psycho-social healthcare needs to improve overall quality of life Referrals can be made via secure/confidential email at Yourcarecircle@allwayshealth.org, include member name and AllWays Health Partners ID, referring person contact information and a brief description of why you are referring (issues, concerns, needs). 7 AllWays Health Partners includes AllWays Health Partners, Inc. and AllWays Health Partners Insurance Company.
How Might This Programs Impact You? Contact with the PCP should occur for all members* enrolled in these programs (*if the member has signed a release of information to speak with his/her PCP) You may have information which is crucial to include in a member s care coordination plan If you don t have a relationship with the member (i.e., have never met the member), the YCC CM will work with the member to schedule an appointment with you as soon as possible The YCC team can assist with things like referrals to behavioral health services, setting up transportation to appointments, etc. this can save you valuable time!!! 8 AllWays Health Partners includes AllWays Health Partners, Inc. and AllWays Health Partners Insurance Company.
