Case Management
At G.A. Carmichael Family Health Center, we believe getting the healthcare you need shouldn’t be hard. For this reason, we are happy to offer a list of resources to help you and your loved ones get the medical care you deserve. This includes resources for the underinsured or uninsured, women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, those in need of social services, and those who are interested in enrolling in health insurance coverage.
We encourage you to learn more about each of our resources below. For your convenience, we offer all of our services in both English and Spanish.
The Perinatal High-Risk Management/Infant Services System (PHRM/ISS) is a case management program for high-risk pregnant women and their babies less than one year old. PHRM/ISS provides enhanced access to health care, nutritional and psychosocial support, home visits, and health education to women who are in need. The purpose of PHRM/ISS is to help reduce the infant mortality rate and to help reduce the rates of low and very low birth weight infants in Mississippi.
PHRM/ISS Case Management Program Services
If you are eligible and decide to participate in the PHRM/ISS program, you will receive services from a case management team consisting of a public health nurse, social worker, and nutritionist. Your case management team may help you with:
- Finding a medical home for you and/or your baby
- Referrals for services such as Medicaid, food stamps, and WIC
- Referrals for family planning, transportation, medical services, and breastfeeding assistance
- Health information, such as preparing for the hospital, infant safety, and healthy infant development
- Nutritional information
Am I eligible for PHRM/ISS?
Only patients who are Medicaid beneficiaries are eligible for the PHRM/ISS cases management program. If you are a Medicaid beneficiary and identify with one or more positive risk factors, we encourage you to reach out to our team for more information.
G.A. Carmichael puts a heavy focus on mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, and substance abuse counseling. Our social services include individual psycho-social assessments, which are provided with recommendations to mental health agencies, one-on-one counseling, or referral into the community where a patient’s needs may be met more appropriately.
Your road to recovery is important to us. We proudly serve a diverse population in an environment that is accepting and understanding. Our goal is always to respect the individual and offer treatment in partnership with each patient to address their needs.
G.A. Carmichael Family Health Center is proud to offer assistance with health insurance coverage programs under The Affordable Care Act (ACA).
