Manage Your Condition | New York Medicaid

NY Anthem’s Condition Care is all about you

Our Condition Care (CNDC) programs allow you to ask questions about your condition, get benefit information, and connect with local resources.

What programs are available for members?

We offer healthcare and support services for members with many health conditions.

Cancer Care Navigator

Managing all the pieces of your care after being diagnosed with cancer can feel overwhelming. Our Cancer Care Navigator program can help. It provides you with a team of nurses and other healthcare providers to help support your care. We’ll work with your doctors to simplify everything and make sure you receive the cancer care you need at no extra cost.

Cancer Care Navigator will also connect you to helpful resources. Some of those include a dietitian, help with managing medications, customized care plans, goal setting, and support after hours.

Get back time to focus on your well-being with extra support. Learn more about how the program can help you: Call the Cancer Care Navigator team toll free at 833-649-0669 (TTY: 711) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Give you information about local support and caregivers.

Answer questions about your condition and/or treatment plan (ways to help with health issues).

Send you materials to learn about your condition and overall health and wellness.

Coordinate your care with your healthcare providers, like helping you with:

Referring you to specialists in your health plan, if needed.
Getting any medical equipment you may need.
