Frequently Asked Questions

Case Management FAQ’s

What is the goal of Case Management?

The goal of Case Management is to help members reach their health goals. Your Case Manager will be your advocate, help you understand your benefits, and bring together the health care services you need.

Who is eligible for Case Management?

You are eligible for case management if you are likely to have complex medical care. A nurse may call or write you to let you know you are eligible for case management. You may also call us or ask your employer to call us to self-refer.

What is CCM's Cancer Case Management Program?

CCM’s Cancer Case Management Program is designed to empower you by providing cancer focused guidance. Your Cancer Case Manager will work with you to plan, manage, and evaluate all aspects of your cancer care. Benefits of this program include providing advocacy for needed services, coordinating care with your providers, developing goals to target your health outcomes, and assisting with access to financial and educational resources as needed.

Is my participation voluntary?

Yes! Opting-out will not impact your benefits. If you do not want to take part in this
program, simply call us to opt-out. We will not reach out to you once you have opted-out.
We may, however, reach out to your health care providers. Even if you opt-out you are
welcome to call us if you have questions or concerns about your care.

What can I expect?

Your Case Manager will call you and ask you some questions about your health and treatment. With your input and information from your health care provider, we will help develop a case management plan. Your plan will include goals, review of medications, and help with transitions between providers. Your Case Manager will then call you to check on your progress.

What is my role?

The Case Manager will encourage you to be responsible for and actively participate in your plan of care. This includes communicating with your providers and the case manager as you move through all stages of your care.

How can I call my Case Manager?

Our toll free phone number is 1 (800) 541-7403. Your Case Manager can be reached from 9:00am to 4:00pm weekdays (except holidays).

Your Case Manager will also provide you a direct phone number. You may leave a confidential message at any time.

Dial “0” during business hours and ask for help if you can’t reach your nurse. You should always call 911 if you are having a Medical Crisis.

Will I receive a copy of my Case Management Plan, goals, and rights and responsibilities?

Your Case Manager will review the case management plan and goals with you over the phone. If you want a copy, please ask and it will be sent to you. A listing of your rights and responsibilities are available on CCM’s website or you can ask your Case Manager to send you a copy.

Who hires Corporate Care Management (CCM)?

We are hired by the Third Party Administrator/TPA (Company that pays your claims) or your employer to help you manage your care. This service is free of charge to you.

To whom does Corporate Care Management (CCM) report?

We may report to the company that pays your claims or to your employer. To guard your privacy, when we report to your employer we use a case number which we create. This number is unique to you. CCM complies with HIPAA regulations.

How does CCM get my medical information?

In most cases, a specific signed release of information form is not needed. However, some providers require a specific form. If required, CCM will send you a HIPAA Release Form to sign and return.

What does my insurance cover?

Specific coverage questions should be directed to customer service for your health plan or TPA (The contact number is on the back of your Member ID card).

The nurse that has been calling us is the most wonderful, encouraging person that I think I have ever met in my 70 years. She has been a friend to our family. Not just advising but a friend. I count her as one of my dearest friends and I can’t thank you enough for sending her our way. She is amazing. Thank you so much.

 

I have had the “sugar” for 10 years, my Dad had it and my son has it. I like having a nurse available to me so that I am able to call her if I have questions regarding my health. Her name and number is taped to my refrigerator. It’s a good benefit to have.

 

My CCM Nurse…is very professional and caring.  She cares just like a family member. [She is] easy to talk to, asks and answers questions very professionally [and] she even shared a few tears with me.

 

I handle all of the authorizations for a large practice and I will say that I work with many different authorization vendors, and there are none more professional than all of your associates who work at Corporate Care Management that I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with.

 

The help we received was exceptional.  We were both very grateful to have someone to reach out to in our time of need and our CCM nurse was the best. Thank you!!

 

My CCM nurse has gone above and beyond the call of duty, took her time to go over all issues with me and resolved all problems.

 

The nurse was wonderful. She contacted me several times during my absence and was very helpful. She really raised my spirits through a difficult time for me. You are very lucky to have her on your team! Thank you all.

 

My representative was wonderful. I didn’t even know this service existed. It’s nice to know when you’re recovering from surgery and unable to make all of the calls needed, someone can be your advocate. The nurse took all of the worry from my shoulders.

 

I enjoy being able to speak with your Registered Nurse about my progress with Diabetes and my frustrations.

 

My CCM nurse has been awesome in the help and concerns for my son and his healthcare and issues we have had.  I can’t thank her enough for the prompt responses.
