Care Management Consent for Certain Conditions

We require your consent to participate in care managment for certain conditions.  These conditions include:

  • Mental health
  • Substance use disorder
  • HIV/AIDS

Please review and sign the consent form to take part in care management for these conditions.

Your completion of this form is your agreement to care management services and supports, which includes collaboration with your treating providers. For minors with substance use disorder or HIV/AIDS conditions, the consent form must be signed by the member themselves. This is because state and federal regulations require the individual to consent to their own care for these conditions regardless of age.
