When it comes down to it—member treatment is all about the outcome. Has my patient’s level of functioning improved? What do I need to do to help my patient live a better life? And, especially when you are working with children, finding the right service mix and closely following treatment progress are of vital importance. To aid our providers with this essential element of member care, Magellan recently implemented a proven outcomes-based tool—called the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment—for use by residential treatment and other behavioral health providers in Nebraska.
Magellan offers our network providers relevant clinical guidelines (CPGs) to assist them in delivering quality care. The CPGs that we endorse or develop are consistent with current scientific evidence of sound best practices. We encourage you to become familiar with each CPG relative to your practice.
While the information captured by the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) is comprehensive and in accordance with established industry standards for credentialing and re-credentialing, it does not allow for the submission of your CV. Having a detailed CV provides Magellan with the up-to-date work history information we need to verify and best match your skills with our members’ needs.
