MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT (Core Medical Service)

Medical Case Management services (including treatment adherence) are a range of client
–centered services that link clients with health care, psychosocial, and other services.
The coordination and follow-up of medical treatments are components of medical case
management. These services ensure timely and coordinated access to medically
appropriate levels of health and support services and continuity of care, through ongoing
assessment of the client’s and other key family members’ needs and personal support
systems. Medical case management includes the provision of treatment adherence
counseling to ensure readiness for, and adherence to, complex HIV/AIDS treatments.
Key activities include 1) initial assessment of service needs; 2) development of a
comprehensive, individualized service plan; 3) coordination of services required to
implement the plan; 4) client monitoring to assess the efficacy of the plan, and 5) periodic
re-evaluation and adaptation of the plan as necessary over the life of the client. It
includes client-specific advocacy and/or review of utilization of services. This includes
all types of case management including face-to-face, phone contact, and any other form
of communication.

NON-MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT (Support Service)

Non-medical case management services are the provision of advice and assistance in obtaining medical, social, community, legal, financial, and other needed services. Nonmedical case management does not involve coordination and follow-up of medical treatments, as does medical case management.
