Star Nursing's Enhanced Care Management (ECM)
and Community Support Services (CSS)
Introduction
Star Nursing is now partnered with CalAim to assist the state of California with Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Support Services (CSS).
California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) is a state effort to create a more equitable, coordinated and person-centered approach to improving health outcomes of those impacting with complex care management needs. CalAIM targets individuals experiencing difficult life and health circumstances including.
Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a new statewide Medi-Cal benefit available to eligible members with complex needs outside their doctor offices/hospitals. With ECM Services, members will be assigned to a designated Care Coordinator. Care Coordinators and members will work together to figure out what the member needs are. For example, Care Coordinators can assist members with filling out paperwork, help members coordinate with their doctors, assist members set up free transportation to and from their doctor visits, help establish income/find a job, assist with creating and building resume and more.
Our objective is to motivate and engage Medi-Cal members to adopt healthy lifestyle choices, ultimately resulting in improved health outcomes. Through our collaborative approach, we strive to empower individuals to take ownership of their well-being and achieve optimal health.
