What if my doctor doesn’t agree with the screenings or tests you tell me about?

Decisions about your medical care are personal decisions between you and your doctor. Your doctor is the best judge of which screenings and tests are right for you. Our letters should not be considered as medical advice. Our reminders are based on nationally recognized standards of care.

The nurse I had is an asset to the Corporate Care Management team. She is an efficient communicator, expert in resolving and identifying management of our daughter’s illness and a skilled listener.

 

I’d like to say my CCM nurse was very helpful in getting a STAT MRI approved for me, and this was the fastest approval I have ever gotten.

 

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.

 

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.

 

This program is valuable and the nurse was helpful. I can understand the importance of following up with my diabetes.

 

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.

 

[CCM] really helped me learn it was okay to ask questions and be my own advocate.

 

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.

 

[The Nurse Case Manager] has been a very excellent person to work with.  She answers my questions.  If she doesn’t have an answer she’ll get the answer for me.  She helped me get some equipment approved that I needed.  She helped me apply for Social Security Disability, and I have been approved. A 10/10 for sure.

 

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.
