Each year, about three million people suffer a non-fatal injury in an auto accident. Some injuries are debilitating or life-changing even though they aren’t fatal.
Navigating your way through the healthcare system is difficult at best. Are you in pain and dealing with a serious injury? You shouldn’t have to deal with problems accessing the services you need to get better.
No matter how you’re injured or how bad the injury is, many people need an advocate who understands the healthcare system.
That’s where case management services can help. Keep reading for more information about case management services and what we offer.
Case Management
Case management is a specialty practice that’s cross-disciplinary. A case manager’s main function is advocating for clients and working with the client’s support systems. The goal is the promotion of wellness and improvement in the client’s health.
A case manager facilitates services. She also educates, advocates, and helps with communication across the different health disciplines. Our clients receive support in many different aspects of daily living.
A case manager takes a holistic approach. That means she takes into account the physical, medical, mental, emotional, financial, and other needs of the patient.

Healthcare Decisions

Financial Needs
Are you having financial difficulty and can’t meet your basic needs? A case manager can intervene and help with short-term crises. These may include issues such as eviction or unpaid utility bills.
