Overview
Shield Support is our personalized care management program to help you live better with illness, recover from acute conditions, and have a more seamless healthcare experience. Our team of nurses, behavioral health clinicians, social workers, health coaches, and other specialty clinicians are available to provide care management, teach self-management skills, and support overall health improvement.
Your care manager acts as an advocate for you and your family by:
- Identifying available treatment options
- Assisting you in making important healthcare decisions
- Coordinating your care with your healthcare providers
- Researching additional resources, such as support groups and financial assistance

More
Although your care manager will be your primary program contact, you and your doctor will always make the decisions about your treatment options. Participation in this program will not affect your benefits. Blue Shield will pay benefits according to the coverage available through your health plan. Your choice of healthcare providers is also based on your health plan coverage.
