Programs

HPSM offers many programs for children up to the ages of 21, women who are expecting, and more.

HPSM Integrated Care Management

HPSM Integrated Care Management is a service for HPSM members who need additional support in accessing healthcare services. Members will be assessed and referred to a care coordinator or team best able to support their needs. Those with complex developmental or behavioral needs will find additional support through HPSM’s Integrated Care Management model. Families in need of additional support accessing services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and behavioral health therapy can be referred to the Integrated Care Management team.

To refer members for Pediatric Integrated Care Management:

Whole Child Model

HPSM has partnered with San Mateo County CCS to provide comprehensive health care for children with complex and chronic medical issues. These conditions vary from the comparatively moderate (such as diabetes) to the potentially debilitating (developmental disability, blindness, cancer and many others). Each special needs child requires frequent, ongoing medical care above and beyond what other children typically need. CCS helps children and their families access this care, which makes a world of difference. The program offers targeted case management to support eligible members in receiving necessary medical services.

Any members with complex medical needs should be referred to the California Children’s Services team.

Behavioral Health Treatment (BHT) / Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) / Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Program

The Behavioral Health Treatment (BHT) benefit is available to all HPSM members under 21 years old who would benefit from services like Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). If the member is already diagnosed or would benefit from ABA therapy a referral for ABA services can be provided to Magellan. The members receiving BHT/ABA typically include those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), those who display patterns of developmentally inappropriate behaviors, and those who exhibit developmental deficits that can be corrected or ameliorated. HPSM contracts with Magellan to provide medically necessary, evidence-based BHT services that prevent or minimize behavioral conditions and promote, to the maximum extent practicable, the functioning of an eligible member.
