Advocacy from Your Care Manager

This is the heart of Enhanced Care Management. Each member is paired with a dedicated Care Manager who knows their story, builds a whole-person plan around them, and advocates for them at every step — with providers, with their health plan, and through every transition of care.

Advocacy from Your Care Manager

What Does Your Care Manager Do?

Your Care Manager is your single point of contact across a fragmented healthcare system. They take the time to know you — your medical history, your goals, your home life, your barriers — and then build a person-centered plan around you, not around a single diagnosis. They speak up for you with providers, your health plan, and community partners so the right care and resources actually show up.

Enhanced Care Management is built around six core service components. Your Care Manager delivers them as one coordinated experience: (1) comprehensive assessment and person-centered care plan, (2) enhanced coordination of care, (3) health promotion, (4) comprehensive transitional care, (5) member and family supports, and (6) coordination and referral to community and social support services.

What's Included

  • Comprehensive assessment and person-centered care plan
  • Enhanced coordination of care across your providers
  • Health promotion and lifestyle coaching support
  • Comprehensive transitional care after hospital stays
  • Member and family supports
  • Closed-loop referrals to community and social services

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does medical visit support include?
Your Care Manager coordinates care across your providers, helps with referrals between specialists, supports appointment scheduling, follows up with providers after visits, translates medical information into clear action items, and advocates for you during transitions of care.
Do you attend appointments with me?
No, this is not companion support. Your Care Manager does not attend appointments with you. Instead, we coordinate scheduling, communicate with your care team, and follow up afterward to make sure the plan is clear and next steps happen.
Can my Care Manager contact my doctor?
Yes. With your consent, your Care Manager can communicate with your providers and health plan to coordinate referrals, appointments, and follow-up on your behalf.
How often will I meet with my Care Manager?
It depends on your care plan. Some members connect with their Care Manager weekly, others every few weeks. Check-ins can happen by phone, in person, or telehealth, based on what works for you.
Does Dignity ADHC ECM drive me to my appointments directly?
No. We don't operate vehicles and we don't provide companion support. Your Care Manager helps you access the non-emergency medical transportation benefit that your Medi-Cal managed care plan offers.
Which Medi-Cal plans can I use this with?
We work with Anthem Blue Cross and Kaiser Permanente Medi-Cal members who are enrolled in Enhanced Care Management (ECM).
What types of appointments qualify for transportation?
The benefit is designed for medical appointments, including primary care, specialist visits, and ongoing treatment. Your Care Manager can confirm what your specific plan covers.
How soon should I tell my Care Manager about an upcoming appointment?
Let your Care Manager know as soon as the appointment is scheduled. Setting up transportation ahead of time helps make sure everything is in place when you need it.
What documents do I need to bring?
Typically you will need a valid ID, proof of income, proof of residency, and Social Security information. When you schedule your appointment, we will provide a complete checklist based on the specific benefits you are applying for.
How long does it take to get approved for benefits?
Processing times vary by program. CalFresh applications are typically processed within 30 days, while Medi-Cal may take 45 days. SSI applications can take 3-6 months. We will keep you updated on the status of your applications throughout the process.
