Case Management
Why Would I Need Case Management?
The need for case management services is determined through a collaboration between you, your family or caregiver, your health care team, and your provider. This collaboration will include a comprehensive assessment of your health, psychosocial needs, and use of health care services and resources.
The NMCCL Case Management program is staffed with a team of over 30 RN’s and LPN’s with years of case management experience and knowledge in the medical field. Our case management group supports the Medical Home Clinics and many of the specialty areas at NMCCL to provide support to our patients and collaboration with our medical providers and ancillary staff.
The focus of our case management program is to provide patient centered quality coordination of medical care education, advocacy, and guidance with a goal to promote the timely delivery of appropriate medical services for our active duty service members, retirees and their families.
