six, encompassing Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and
surrounding areas, Magellan Complete Care of Florida is available
across the state, to individuals in 40 of Florida’s 67 counties,”
said Manuel Arisso, chief executive officer of Magellan Complete
Care of Florida. “As we coordinate care, working with the members
themselves, community advocates, providers, caretakers and family
members across the care continuum, I am confident that our approach
will enable our members to manage their health and wellness.”
Magellan Complete Care of Florida expects to enroll
between 30,000 and 50,000 members by the end of the year.
Magellan Complete Care's model centers around a Care
Coordination Team, which works with members, their doctors,
counselors, family and caregivers to improve communication, set
goals for recovery and to enjoy a healthier life. The Care
Coordination Team includes a dedicated health guide who can assist
members by scheduling and arranging transportation to appointments,
working with providers, and helping members succeed in their
treatment plans.
