Overview
Care Managers will start off each patient with needs assessment - identify where they are at, assign them acuity level between 1-3. This will decide what level case manager they will be assigned to and how frequently the Care Manager will need to be in contact with them.
- Standard LICSW will have a caseload of level 1, 2 and 3 acuity patients which will have a total of 75 patients.
- LICSW's that have a more advanced understanding of Case Management will be tasked as specialty Case Managers and will take a caseload of 60 individuals total, that have very complex needs at level 3 acuity.
- Medicaid patients with Socio-economic struggles as well
- Will work with enrollees and families to break down barriers
- Have a standard of 3 care plans or assessments done per week (Which means 3 field visit days a week - in office 2 days to wrap up documentation.) - Sounds like, for now, field visits count for in office days but will update if changes from DC Medicaid.
- Will get list of enrollees well child visits and it is encouraged for the CM to attend (Help to support and update care plan)
