Helping you Help your Patients

As part of the LCMC Healthcare Partners (LHP) family, our networked providers have the opportunity to refer their patients to our Care Management Program.

What we offer:

The LHP Care Management Program provides a support system for patients, their families and caregivers to manage and follow-up on their medical care. Our goal is to assist providers in performing the calls, questions, coordination and support tasks that can make all the difference in the success of a treatment. Working together with providers in our network, we hope to help patients progress through their prescribed treatments and avoid preventable re-admissions.
