Consent for care management services

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

  • Mental health
  • Substance use disorder
  • HIV/AIDS

Ways to manage your consent

Please review and complete consent form (online, by fax, or by mail) to take part in care management:

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.
