Specialized Care Management Programs

Personalize care. Manage risk.
Improve outcomes.

Toney Healthcare offers a range of specialized care management programs that focus on a health plan’s highest risk and rising-risk members to reduce avoidable utilization, lower costs and improve outcomes while helping members achieve optimal levels of health. These programs can be deployed individually or as a comprehensive whole.

We believe that effective care management addresses behavioral health (BH) and social determinants alongside physical health, so our programs support strong collaboration across the care continuum and positively impact utilization, costs, care gaps, health equity, and member and provider experience. We work in your systems environment, so all care management actions and outcomes are fully and immediately transparentto you, without data transfers. All data stays in your control.

Dedicated Teams. Deep Expertise.

Our care management professionals have years of experience with health plans across the country, bringing innovation and a wealth of knowledge in best-practice health management and national and regional perspectives for all lines of business and population types. Our clinicians are all US-based and appropriately licensed, with the experience, expertise and training to support medical, behavioral health and social determinants of health (SDOH) across disciplines.

Interdisciplinary, Multi-Tiered Approach for High Risk Care Management

To have the greatest impact, we offer several care management programs that align with different levels of risk—available individually or combined in a comprehensive offering, with cross-referral support to step up or down to different risk levels. Our care management programs empower plans to:

  • Manage and reduce medical and behavioral health utilization and healthcare costs

  • Improve communication and coordination between member care and treatment teams

  • Advance treatment plan understanding and adherence

  • Help members achieve their optimal level of health

  • Support members between physician visits
