Case Management Redesign Update - Stakeholder Newsletter #2

HCPF has been steadily working toward implementing Case Management Redesign to remove conflicts of interest in case management and create a more person-centered and streamlined experience for members. We will be providing regular updates on the process of transitioning to the new Case Management Agencies, the launch and stabilization of the new Care and Case Management (CCM) system, and the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) renewal process through this newsletter. We are working toward greater transparency and awareness of issues related to Case Management Redesign while also focusing on implementing lessons learned as we move forward.

This is the second installment of the newsletter. The first installment is at the bottom of the linked document below. The next newsletter will be distributed in late February/early March.

We are grateful to each and every one of you for the work you do to engage with us and we look forward to continued partnership.
