Chronic Conditions

Community Care Plan has programs to support members with chronic conditions

The goals of our Concierge Care Coordination (C3) programs like case and disease management are to support our members and caregivers with their care plan, get healthier, and improve their lives. Members and caregivers can learn more about their health and chronic conditions, and how you, or your loved ones can improve their health.

The chronic conditions that our Case Managers help with are:

Asthma

What is asthma?

  • Asthma is a chronic lung disease that makes it harder to move air in and out of your lungs.
  • Asthma can cause symptoms like wheezing, mucus production, coughing, shortness of breath, and tightness in your chest.
  • There is no cure for asthma, but it can be managed so you live a normal, healthy life.

How to take care of yourself

  • Get your influenza and pneumonia vaccinations
  • Know and stay away from asthma triggers
  • Watch your breathing
  • Follow up with your doctors
  • Quit smoking or don’t start
  • Know when you are having an attack and treat them early
  • Take your medication as prescribed
  • Watch how much you use your quick-relief inhaler

 

How Community Care Plan can help

  • Health Snapshot
    Get the most from your health plan benefits and complete our Health Snapshot. The answers to these questions will help your or your child’s Primary Care Provider (PCP) and our nurses know what you or your child need.
    • Answer the questions within 45 days of enrollment or CCP’s request date and get a $15 or $20 reward! Learn more on our Rewards page.
    • The snapshot should take less than 8 minutes to finish. You will get FREE resource links and be able to have a copy of your answers emailed to you at the end. You will see the camera picture.
    • Your information is private. The answers do not change you or your child’s benefits.
  • Disease Management Program

Our team can help you learn more about asthma, watch your symptoms, know your asthma triggers, and           how to stay away from them. This is the best way to lower your need for medicines and stop asthma attacks.

    • Asthma Action Plan
      We will also help you with an asthma action plan. This will include medicines and instructions for what to do when you are not feeling well, when you have asthma symptoms, and when your asthma symptoms are getting worse. Our Case Managers and your providers will work with you to help you with good asthma control. This would be:
      • No asthma symptoms during the day or night
      • No limits in activities or play
      • No missed school or work
      • Less attacks or flare ups
      • No emergency room or hospital visits for asthma
      • Less Need for Quick Relief Medicine
    • CareSignal Program

CCP works with Care Signal to provide Deviceless Remote Patient Monitoring™ technology and send health related surveys via text-messages. This program helps our team monitor changes in your health status, so we can support you in your treatment plan and journey to good health.

To participate in this program, you must have one of our chronic conditions.

What is Diabetes?

  • Diabetes is a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose) and causes your blood sugar to be too high.
  • Diabetes also affects how your body makes, or uses, insulin, and if your body doesn’t make enough, or doesn’t use it properly this causes your blood sugar to be high.
  • Diabetes, if not controlled, can hurt the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart.
chronic conditions banner
  • There are different kinds of diabetes.
    • Type 1 Diabetes is usually diagnosed early in life and is an autoimmune condition that stops the body from making insulin. Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented, and once diagnosed, you need to take insulin every day to stay healthy.

What is HIV/AIDS?

  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The virus damages the body’s immune system and makes it easier for you to get sick.
  • HIV is generally spread through sex with an infected partner. It can also be spread through contact with infected blood or body fluids, like dirty needles.
  • Some people have no symptoms, but other people can have fever, chills, unexplained rashes, fatigue, night sweats, flu like symptoms, and mouth ulcers.
  • There is no cure for HIV, but the virus can be controlled with treatment. If the virus is not controlled, a person’s immune system will become weak to the point where they continue to AIDS and are at risk for serious infections and cancers because of their weak immune system.
  • AIDS symptoms are rapid weight loss, returning fevers, extreme fatigue, continued swelling of lymph nodes, diarrhea, and profuse night sweats.

 

How to take care of yourself

  • Prevention
    • Don’t have sex
    • Have safe sex using condoms the right way every time you have sex
    • Take PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medication that people take to avoid HIV infection from sex and injection drug use. This needs to be taken as prescribed to be effective.
    • If you think you have been exposed, PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a medication that people can take within 72 hours of exposure to avoid HIV
    • Don’t inject drugs. If you do, use new, clean needles and injection equipment every time. You can get new needles and syringes, and safely throw away used ones at a syringe services program (SSP). Locate a SSP near you or visit www.nasen.org/.
  • HIV Treatment and Self-Care
    • If you think that you may be at risk for HIV infection, get tested.
    • If you become HIV positive, your doctor will prescribe antiretroviral therapy (ART). This is a medication that usually needs to be taken every day. There are some treatments that can be taken as an injection every other month. Talk to your doctor about the treatment that is right for you.
    • Take your medicine, as directed, and do not miss any doses. This is important for you to stay healthy.
    • Get your blood test regularly, as directed by your doctor. This checks how your immune system is doing and helps make sure your treatment is working.
    • Stop smoking or don’t start.
    • Follow up with your doctors, as directed.
    • Keep a healthy diet
    • Get regular physical activity (as directed and approved by their doctor),

  • Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80.
  • Blood pressure of 130/80 or more means you have a high blood pressure.
  • If your blood pressure is high for too long, it can hurt your heart, blood vessels, and other areas of your body, like your eyes and kidneys. It can also increase your chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
