Disease Management
Maryland Physicians Care has selected certain disease management practice guidelines for distribution to the provider network. You can download these guidelines, which include treatment protocols, for the following conditions:
Selected practice guidelines are distributed under a quality improvement/utilization management program to identify criteria for appropriate and effective use of health care services and consistency in the care provided to members and the general community. These guidelines are not intended to:
- Supplant the duty of a qualified health professional to provide treatment based on the individual needs of the patient,
- Constitute procedures for or the practice of medicine by the party distributing the guidelines, or
- Guarantee coverage or payment for the type or level of care proposed or provided
We hope these guidelines will be helpful in clarifying standards and expectations. If you need a hard copy, contact the Maryland Physicians Care Medical Directors office at 1-800-953-8854.
