CASE MANAGEMENT FOR CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN (CPW)

INITIAL INTAKE

The intake process helps determine whether the child or pregnant woman may qualify for CPW and whether case-management services are needed.

FAMILY NEEDS ASSESSMENT

A case manager works with the client, parent or legal guardian to understand medical, educational, social and other health-related needs affecting the client’s health and well-being.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICE PLAN

When a client qualifies, the case manager develops a service plan identifying needs, goals, referrals and appropriate next steps.

REFERRALS AND COORDINATION

The case manager may help identify and coordinate appropriate medical, dental, behavioral-health, educational, social and community services.

FOLLOW-UP

The case manager follows up as needed to help determine whether the service plan is being carried out and whether the client’s needs or circumstances have changed.

CPW case management does not replace medical care, prenatal care, behavioral-health treatment or emergency services. Each healthcare provider, Medicaid health plan, government agency and community program determines its own eligibility, availability and service requirements.
