Supporting the Whole Person
Tailored Care Management is a North Carolina initiative that focuses on supporting the whole person. Members who have mental health challenges and substance use disorders will be assigned a designated care manager who will help address all their needs (including mental/behavioral health, physical health and unmet health-related resources needs).
Tailored Care Management is a free service that pairs you with a Tailored Care Manager who knows the health care system. Tailored Care Managers are trained to help people with serious mental illness, severe substance use disorders and developmental disabilities.
You are not alone in this journey. Once you consent to Tailored Care Management, your Tailored Care Manager will schedule an in-person meeting to better understand your needs and help you navigate your healthcare needs, services and needed resources.
