Summary: Summary - The demand for case managers is growing rapidly as insurance companies restrict reimbursement, move toward capitation and as individuals with high copays try to reduce expenses. - Not only are case managers employed by hospitals and treatment centers, but increasingly by organizations like businesses and universities that have a strong motivation to keep their employees/students healthy and (relatively) happy - Case managers provide assessment, advocacy, education and assistance with treatment coordination and implementation, often in a multidisciplinary team - Case managers do not diagnose or treat illnesses
