CareFirst's Disease Management Programs

Welcome to CareFirst’s Disease Management Programs! Our goal is to help our members take control of their medical condition so they can lead a fuller life. Our disease management programs, health events, and information for eligible members of all ages and all degrees of health and fitness are your tools for managing your health.

How members are referred to the program

We receive the names of members with certain chronic health conditions from medical and pharmacy claims, case managers and from members themselves who ask to join the program. Please rest assured that this information is considered highly confidential, and we take every precaution to protect your privacy. As a CareFirst member, you have the right to continue to participate or to choose not to participate in the disease management program. If you do not wish to participate, or if you feel that we received your name in error, please call us at 800-783-4582.

Respiratory Programs

Asthma

CareFirst knows the health risks that asthma can present, not to mention the burden it can place on everyday life. That's why we created a special program just for our members. The program is designed to provide extra support to any plan member who has asthma, no matter how minor or severe the condition may seem. Members who want to find out if they are eligible for the program should call 800-783-4582. 

COPD (Chronic Bronchitis/Emphysema)

People with COPD describe themselves as being "hungry for air." This makes each breath a chore. Our program provides support for members with COPD, regardless of how long they have had this condition. Members who want to find out if they are eligible for the program should call 800-783-4582.
