FaST Case Management™ provides focused Case Management for individuals with limited Michigan Auto No-Fault PIP medical benefits for up to 30 days.
After a serious Motor Vehicle Crash, medical and rehabilitation needs can develop quickly. For individuals who selected $250,000 or $500,000 in PIP medical coverage, those benefits are a limited resource.
Hospitalization, surgery, physician care, rehabilitation, diagnostic testing, therapy, home care, medical equipment, transportation, and other necessary services may all draw from the available PIP medical benefits.
When multiple providers and services are involved, it can become difficult to understand what has been authorized, what care is being recommended, what services still need to be arranged, and how the different pieces of the rehabilitation plan fit together.
FaST Case Management™ provides up to 30 days of focused Case Management to help organize the situation, identify immediate needs, coordinate appropriate services, and develop a clearer path forward.
The goal is not to restrict medically necessary care. It is to help ensure that care, rehabilitation, and support services are coordinated around the individual's actual needs.
FaST Case Management™ is designed for individuals recovering from a Motor Vehicle Crash who have limited PIP medical benefits and need focused help organizing care, rehabilitation, and available resources.
The individual selected a limited PIP medical benefit level rather than unlimited PIP medical coverage.
Physicians, specialists, therapists, rehabilitation providers, and support services may all be involved in the individual's recovery.
Recommendations, appointments, referrals, treatment plans, and services may need to be brought together into a more coordinated plan of care.
The individual may need home care, attendant care, transportation, medical equipment, home modifications, or other rehabilitation and support services.
Needed services may not yet be in place, communication may be fragmented, or obstacles may be delaying treatment and rehabilitation.
The individual, family, attorney, or treatment team may need help understanding immediate priorities and organizing the next steps in recovery.
FaST Case Management™ is focused by design. Up to 30 days of Case Management can help clarify immediate needs, connect services, improve communication, and establish a more organized plan moving forward.
A $250,000 or $500,000 PIP medical benefit may initially sound substantial. After a serious Motor Vehicle Crash, however, significant medical and rehabilitation needs can develop very quickly.
Hospitalization, surgery, physician and specialist care, diagnostic testing, rehabilitation, therapy, nursing, attendant care, transportation, medical equipment, and other necessary services may all draw from the same available PIP medical benefits.
When care involves multiple providers and services, coordination becomes especially important. The treatment team needs to understand the individual's current needs, what services are already in place, what recommendations remain outstanding, and where gaps or barriers may exist.
That is where FaST Case Management™ can help. Focused Case Management can bring the different pieces of the case together early, helping establish priorities and a coordinated plan for moving forward.
The objective is not to limit necessary care. It is to help ensure that medical treatment, rehabilitation, and support services are coordinated around the individual's needs while recognizing that the available PIP medical benefits are finite.
Following a serious Motor Vehicle Crash, a limited PIP medical benefit may be responsible for many different categories of care.
Emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, and follow-up medical care.
Ongoing medical management, specialty evaluations, testing, and treatment.
Physical, occupational, speech, cognitive, behavioral, and other rehabilitation services.
Nursing, attendant care, home care, transportation, and other support needs.
Medical equipment, mobility needs, home modifications, and accessibility resources.
FaST Case Management™ begins with a focused review of the individual's current situation. Over the next 30 days, the Case Manager works to understand immediate needs, organize the case, connect appropriate services, improve communication, and establish a coordinated plan for moving forward.
Review the individual's injuries, current treatment, rehabilitation recommendations, providers, support needs, and available information regarding PIP medical benefits.
Determine what services are already in place, what recommendations remain outstanding, and where immediate gaps, barriers, or coordination needs exist.
Help identify and coordinate appropriate physicians, rehabilitation providers, home services, equipment, transportation, and other resources based on the individual's needs.
Improve communication among the individual, family, physicians, rehabilitation professionals, attorneys, insurers, and other parties involved in the case.
Develop a clearer, coordinated plan that identifies ongoing medical, rehabilitation, functional, and support needs and the next steps in the individual's recovery.
By the end of the focused Case Management period, the goal is to have immediate needs identified, appropriate services connected, communication improved, and a more organized plan in place for the next stage of recovery.
Every Motor Vehicle Crash is different. FaST Case Management™ focuses on the individual's immediate medical, rehabilitation, functional, and support needs—then works to bring the appropriate people and resources together.
Review the current situation and identify medical, rehabilitation, functional, equipment, home, and support needs that may require attention.
Help organize communication among physicians, specialists, therapists, rehabilitation professionals, and other providers involved in the individual's care.
Identify what has already been recommended, what has been completed, and what referrals, evaluations, services, or follow-up remain outstanding.
Help identify appropriate therapy, rehabilitation programs, home care, medical equipment, transportation, and other resources based on the individual's needs.
Help facilitate communication among the individual, family, treatment providers, attorney, insurer, and other professionals involved in the case.
Establish a clearer plan so the individual and the people involved in the case understand current priorities and what needs to happen next.
FaST Case Management™ is intentionally focused. The Case Manager prioritizes the most immediate issues, works to address gaps and barriers, coordinates needed resources, and helps establish an organized plan for what comes next.
When PIP medical benefits are limited, Case Management should remain focused on the individual's medical, rehabilitation, functional, and support needs.
AICM – Michigan is an independent Case Management company. Our Case Managers are not the individual's physician, attorney, insurance adjuster, or treatment provider. That independence allows the Case Manager to maintain a broader view of the case while coordinating among the many people involved.
The Case Manager works to understand recommendations from the treatment team, identify gaps or barriers, connect appropriate resources, and improve communication so everyone has a clearer understanding of the plan moving forward.
Coordinate the care. Connect the resources. Keep the individual at the center.
