Welcome Letter From Kimberlee Langford

Vice President, Clinical Services

Hello,

I’m excited to welcome you to the Specialty Care Management (SCM), the preeminent leader in preventing and easing Kidney-related issues. With nearly 37 milling Americans dealing with kidney disease, we’re committed to helping you navigate this challenge.

Our CKD Management Program let our Clinical Team actively engage with high-risk and active CKD members. Eligible members will be notified by a member of the SCM Team. If you decide to join in, your dedicated Nurse Coach will work with you to tackle any kidney-related health concerns proactively. This CKD Program is focused on hands-on and ongoing support, with the goal of potentially avoiding the need for dialysis and improving the quality of life for those affected by kidney problems.

Feel free to browse the resource below or contact us with any questions.

Best regards,

Kimberlee Langford, BSN RN CCM CRMT CPC

Did you know that 37 million Americans are affected by Kidney Disease in the US?

About 1 in 2 people with very low kidney function (not on dialysis) don’t know they have kidney disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease Management (CKD) Management allows our Clinical Team to engage with moderate, high-risk, and active CKD members. If members choose to engage, their dedicated Nurse Coach will work with them to confront and manage renal related health issues.

With the appropriate clinical guidance, members (or their caregivers) within our CKD Management Program can speak with a subject matter expert to cover all aspects of pre or current kidney disease. From lifestyle changes to assist with diabetes and hypertension to tips on how to emotionally deal with the effects of illness on a member and their family, our Nurse Coaches take on a holistic approach with members.

When the transition to Outpatient Dialysis is unavailable, our clinical team will help create an optimal start for members by supporting them clinically and administratively.
