Description Magellan is here to help you get the care you need. Our approach includes education about mental health and substance use concerns. We can also help you if you begin to have mental health or substance use disorder symptoms. This can help keep symptoms from getting worse. If you are in a hospital or facility, we will help you get ready for a lower level of care.
What is Care Management?
Care Management is the system of medical and psychosocial management including, but not limited to:
Utilization management
Care coordination
Discharge planning following restrictive levels of care
Continuity of care
Care transitions
Quality management
Service verification
Care management includes outcome-focused, strength-based, and non-judgmental activities. It helps you and your family by locating, accessing, coordinating, and monitoring mental health, physical health, and social services.
Care Management also includes other services and supports that can help meet your basic human needs, such as advocacy, information, and resources. Care Management can ensure you get the right services from the right places and prevent you from getting duplicate or unnecessary services. Care Management services can empower you to manage your behavioral health and change and improve your life.
Some care management services are covered by the Idaho Behavioral Health Plan and delivered by network providers. Other services are provided by Magellan staff.
