How We Help // Care Management

Specialty Case Management

We control healthcare costs while improving member outcomes for the toughest cases.

Members who become ill with complex health conditions can be very challenging. Navigating treatment plans for these conditions can be overwhelming for members and the costs can be financially catastrophic for plan sponsors. HealthSmart Care Management Solutions has developed proprietary and innovative clinical solutions to help manage some of the most challenging health cases.
