Case Managers provide members access to professional assistance that will enhance their ability to manage issues related to epilepsy and improve their quality of life.
Case Management Services
Assess situation and needs
Case managers begin by making a thorough assessment of a potential member’s needs by conducting an intake assessment. Together they will work to identify epilepsy needs, set goals, and develop a plan to achieve set goals through internal services and external referrals.
Ongoing Case Management
Ongoing check-ins are conducted based on members’ needs. During regular check-ins, a case manager evaluates progress, focuses on helping members stay on track with goals and provides access to resources.
Community Resources
Case managers assist members by researching and providing resources. These resources include public benefits (transportation, SSI/SSDI, PUNS, healthcare, supplemental nutrition, housing), access to medical care, IEP/504 Plans, legal referral, and employment assistance.
