What is behavioral health care management?

Behavioral health care management promotes wellness by helping you access appropriate treatment and community resources. Care management is a telephonic service and completely free to Lucet members.

• Coordinate health care services
• Assess needs and establish measurable goals
• Link providers, support systems and community resources to address gaps in care
• Monitor progress toward goals and address barriers as needed

What is the behavioral health care manager’s role?

Although behavioral health care managers do not provide counseling or mental health treatment services, they may do any or all of the following:

• Work with you to develop a self-management plan
  • The plan should have clear timeframes to improve and maintain member’s health
• Coordinate care with your behavioral health providers
• Prepare you for interaction with providers to enhance treatment outcomes
• Facilitate communication between behavioral health providers and medical providers
