Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE) is a State Plan enhanced primary care case management program that serves frail elderly and disabled beneficiaries to improve the health outcomes of persons with chronic health conditions, by linking primary medical care with home and community-based services. The program builds on the state’s primary care case management program, George Better Health Care Program (GBHC). SOURCE integrates primary medical care with supportive services through case managers who work with the member and their primary care physicians (PCP). Beneficiaries who meet eligibility criteria enroll with a SOURCE site as their primary care provider who coordinates all medical and social services.
