Care Management Program (Community and In-Office)

Coastal Medical has nurse care managers and care navigators within our practices, as well as in our community. Our Care Management teams help to provide care coordination support to patients with complex medical conditions with recent transitions of care or undergoing treatments requiring additional support.

The goal of this program is to help keep our patients healthy at home and remain out of the hospital unnecessarily. Our teams will help patients navigate barriers to care, manage chronic conditions, and develop care plans to help our patients to manage successfully at home and remain out of the hospital. 

  • Our practice care management team works with patients to provide education on chronic conditions, assess and address barriers to care, and develop a specific care plan.
  • Our community nurse care managers visit patients in the hospital and skilled nursing facilities to provide care coordination services, connecting patients to Coastal services/programs and community resources when needed.

Chronic Condition Management Programs

Eligible Coastal patients can receive additional support for their chronic illnesses through our various clinical programs. While we offer patient education for all patients regarding chronic conditions, these programs are specifically designed to provide care to those with complex care needs.  

Through a multidisciplinary team, we help support our patients with managing a chronic condition in between visits with primary care clinicians.  Within these programs we use remote monitoring to help patients stay connected to their care teams and better manage their health.

Please talk to your primary care clinician to find out if one of our programs may be right for you.
