Care Management
Care management is a free benefit available to qualifying Vaya Health members who may need special medical and social support. Care managers work with members to identify their strengths, understand their needs, and build a personalized plan of care that is right for them.
How Care Management Helps You
Care management gives you more control over your personal health and wellness. Your care manager works closely with you to make sure your voice is heard. Together, you will create a plan that includes the services and supports you need to stay healthy, safe, and satisfied with your care.
Your care manager also pays attention to your life “outside the doctor’s office.” This may include linking you to appropriate medical specialists or supporting your healthy eating and sleep habits. Our person-centered planning process ensures that we work closely with you to make sure your choices are respected.
Your care manager can connect you to community resources to help with needs such as housing, work, transportation, or food. To learn more, talk to your care manager, submit a Community Resources Referral Request, or visit our Local Resources webpage. For more information, call our Member and Recipient Services Line at 1-800-962-9003.
