Case Management for Special Needs

If a child covered under WVCHIP has a long term illness or condition (for example, juvenile diabetes or chronic asthma), Acordia National's case management program can help you learn about available resources, provide support for your family, and find ways to contain medical costs. Through medical case management, Acordia National can help you arrange home care, obtain discounts for special medical equipment, and locate appropriate services to meet the child's health care needs. To take advantage of these services, contact Acordia National at 1-800-356-2392.
