Disease Management Programs
CarePlus' disease management programs can help you manage certain chronic medical conditions. We keep track of the latest research on treatments and make sure you're informed. Using medical science and statistics together, we strive to identify members who are at risk for contracting conditions like diabetes, even before the symptoms surface.
Where Good Health Begins
Most beneficiaries and health care professionals would agree that good health begins with a proactive lifestyle; eating nutritious foods, not smoking, exercising regularly, good personal hygiene habits such as hand-washing, reducing stress and obtaining restful sleep. But here's another proactive measure to consider: preventive health screenings and vaccines.
Which Screenings Do You Need?
Screenings can help uncover diseases early when they are easier to treat. Below is a list of recommended screenings based on the United States Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines for most adults.
An earlier start to, or additional screenings may be recommended by your physician depending on your health, age, race, gender, family history, and lifestyle. Why not schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss preventive screenings?
Social Services Department
CarePlus has a specially trained Social Services Department designed to help members apply for public assistance through the Medicaid and extra help programs. CarePlus has been assisting health plan members to attain dual eligibility status since 2002. We also help with navigating application processes and securing financial assistance through Florida's Medicaid cost-sharing programs.
The CarePlus Social Services Department assists members to obtain Medicaid and with the periodic renewal process of Medicaid, through a variety of eligibility pathways. These services are offered at no additional cost to all CarePlus Medicare Advantage health plan members. Dual eligible members are also allowed to take advantage of special election periods that may not be available to other Medicare Advantage members, some of which include being able to enroll in a CareNeeds Special Needs Plan (SNP) at any time during the calendar year.
