I use them all the time and recommend them to others. Today, it is hard to imagine case managers operating without it. Because the Resource Guide offers a proven, easy and inexpensive way to attract patient referrals and contracting opportunities . Now in its 12 th annual edition, the Case Management Resource Guide is a unique directory of healthcare providers and product manufacturers used by case managers and provider contracting professionals. Today, almost all managed care plans and many healthcare provider organizations use case managers.
Case managers make referrals for individual patients, and participate in provider contracting.
While some case managers are local, others are located hundreds of miles from the patients they serve. Because they can't possibly know the providers in all areas they serve, case managers rely on the Resource Guide to do their jobs . Inclusion in the Resource Guide will also increase your managed care contracting opportunities. The Resource Guide is used by the contracting departments of virtually all health plans in the country, as well as by network developers and provider organizations involved in subcontracting. Big exposure at a little price.
