Health and Social Partnerships
Our Commitment
We are committed to improving our member’s health by removing barriers to care and working with our community partners and providers to drive meaningful change.
Provider Responsibilities
Providers are expected to deliver services in a culturally competent manner, which includes removing all language barriers, accommodating the unique ethnic, cultural and social needs of the member and understand that health-related social needs are significant contributors to member outcomes and quality of life.
We adhere to the National Culturally & Linguistically Appropriate Standards (CLAS). Learn more about cultural and linguistically appropriate services.
The CareSource Cultural Competency Plan outlines our commitment to providing culturally-competent services to our members.
We encourage our employees and providers to recognize that culturally appropriate care requires ongoing learning from those whose beliefs and experiences differ from our own, respecting the other person’s identity and acknowledging that each of us is the sole expert on ourselves.
Trainings and Resources
We recognize our responsibility to provide educational resources that support our providers’ and community partners’ ability to deliver effective and culturally competent care, helping us reach our goal to reduce and ultimately eliminate disparities in health care that adversely affect our members. Together, let’s make health care fair and accessible for all!
