Magellan Complete Care Introduces Care Transition Services What are Care Transition Services? Transitions from a hospital or a skilled nursing facility to home can often be more complicated for people with serious mental illness. This is due to their complex medical and behavioral health needs that can pose significant challenges in management. Magellan Complete Care s high contact Care Transition Services focus on helping members who are experiencing complex physical and behavioral health concerns. Through the integration of a Care Transitions Team, the specialty plan members who are being treated in a hospital receive coordinated hospital to home services as they complete their recovery. Magellan Complete Care utilizes Care Transition Services in order to help members transition smoothly from a hospital or skilled nursing facility to their home, preventing avoidable hospital readmissions. Comparable programs across the country have used similar approaches successfully resulting in significant reductions in avoidable hospital readmissions. How Care Transition Services Work Upon admission to a participating hospital, one of Magellan Complete Care s skillfully trained Health Guides will reach out either in person or telephonically to the member and their caregiver. The Health Guide will engage the member about their condition and discharge plan in order to determine the type of support the individual will need when they go home. Once home, the Health Guide will stay in contact with the member in order to assist in a number of different ways, such as: Assessing the member s living conditions and overall safety; Educating the member and caregiver on their discharge plan; Describing how to obtain and take their medications properly; Explaining the signs and symptoms that may necessitate a call to the primary care provider, or other health professionals, as well as the importance of having follow-up provider visits; Assisting with meals, transportation, and health provider appointments; Assisting with equipment and supply ordering; and, Assisting with Access to 24 hour Nurse Line services. The Health Guide will also coordinate with a Magellan Complete Care Integrated Care Case Manager who will be assigned to each member. We will be reaching out to you in the next several weeks to discuss the program. If you have any questions, please call us at your convenience at 305-717-5331 or email Kale Baker at kebaker1@magellanhealth.com.
