Program Description

CareLink helps people who are on Medicaid and have a mental health diagnosis manage thier ongoing mental and/or physical health conditions. It brings together all types of care, including primary care, hospital care, behavioral health, and long-term care. CareLink connects members to doctors, community services, and support for both individuals and their families.

The program focuses on coordinating care so members get the right help at the right time. This makes it easier for people to stay involved in managing their own health. CareLink’s goal is to provide smooth, patient-focused care that leads to better health and stronger teamwork among healthcare providers throughout a person’s life.

A Care Coordinator works with each member to complete a full needs assessment and create a care plan that helps the member reach their health goals.
