Case Management
SMI Specialty Plan Case Management Support from SMI Trained Staff
SMI Care Managers are trained to understand the unique challenges that you face. They offer the highest quality of care. SMI Specialty Plan members also get support through Sunshine Health’s case managers. At least once per quarter, we check on members to see if you need help with services like:
- Behavioral (mental health and substance use), medical or pharmacy
- Social services like housing, food, etc.
Access to a School Specialist
As a SMI Specialty Plan member, you and their family have access to our School Specialist. This person knows how to work with the schools to help our members get the services they need to improve school success.
Access to Housing Specialist
Our SMI Specialty Plan members have access to our Housing Specialist, who will assist them in working with local agencies to find safe, stable housing.
Access to Integrated Care through Behavioral Health Homes/Patient Centered Medical Homes
SMI members are more likely to have multiple health issues like hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., than the general population. They are also less likely to have access to a PCP. To ensure easy access to a PCP for our SMI members, we help facilitate access to one who is part of a Behavioral Health Home or Patient Centered Medical Home.
