Hepatitis C case management program
Anthem is excited to share some information about our hepatitis C case management program. This program includes intensive care coordination, from the diagnosis of hepatitis C to treatment and follow-up care. Education is an integral part of our hepatitis C case management program. This provides members with a comprehensive understanding of their disease condition, including its causes, symptoms, progression, diagnostic processes, preventive measures, and treatment options. This knowledge empowers members to play an active role in their health management, promotes adherence to treatment plans, mitigates fears associated with the disease, and ultimately leads to improved member outcomes. Our case management team closely works with patients to ensure they understand all aspects of the disease and feel confident in managing their health.
Our team is also here to support providers. Our dedicated nurses can coordinate appointment scheduling, ensure members adhere to their treatment regimens, facilitate communication between providers, and assist with prior authorizations. Feel free to reach out to our hepatitis C virus (HCV) case manager, Tecora Yisrael, at 844-441-1505 ext. 90213.
We would also like to share an exciting opportunity to enrich your knowledge of treating hepatitis C. The Hepatitis C Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) at Indiana University meets virtually on the first and third Thursday of each month and offers free continuing medical education credits. These sessions provide an opportunity to learn best practices from experienced providers. Find more information and register here.
The Indiana Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program is also available to all clinical providers and members of the healthcare team in any state at no cost. They offer a full-day virtual training program followed by a more advanced session six months later. Find more information and register for the next session here.
