Care Management for At-Risk Children (CMARC)
Care Management for At-Risk Children (CMARC) is a program offered at no charge for children from birth to under 5 years of age who have special health care needs, have experienced the Infant Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), are dealing with adverse childhood events, and/or are referred by the child’s doctor or health plan.
Referrals
When a referral is received, the care manager will talk with you to determine whether your child and family could benefit from CMARC services.
For eligible families who want CMARC services, a CMARC plan of care is developed by the family and the CMARC care manager.
To refer someone to CMARC, please fill out our online form or email us directly at [email protected].
