Condition Care/Clinical Health Promotion

Our Condition Care (CNDC) team is based on a system of coordinated care management interventions and communications designed to assist physicians and others in managing members with chronic conditions.

Our Mission

The mission of the CNDC department is to improve the health and quality of life for Healthy Blue members by encouraging member self-care efforts, coordinating health care education, and providing interventions along the continuum of care.

CNDC services include:

  • A holistic, member-centered approach to disease management focusing on the needs of the member.
  • Motivational interviewing techniques used in conjunction with member self-empowerment.
  • The ability to manage more than one disease to meet the changing health care needs of our member population.
  • Weight management and smoking cessation education.

Benefits of collaborating with CNDC:

  • Quality of care: You can refer patients who have multiple conditions; we can provide additional education and care management.
  • Collaborative treatment plans: We provide you with CNDC information and the most up-to-date Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) to assist in creating an individual plan of care for your patient. Together, we can create patient treatment plans.
    • CPGs are available on Availity* (login is required).
  • Receive feedback on your patients between appointments: Get feedback on your patients’ care plans and condition management through Patient360 in Availity.
