A November 30, 2011 webinar will review the results of Aetna's embedded case manager program, in which case managers worked side-by-side with physicians serving Aetna's Medicare members.

"The role of today's healthcare case manager is constantly evolving, and moving them beyond a telephonic role to co-location with primary care physicians is a natural step in their progression. Aetna's Medicare medical director Dr. Krakauer gives us a front row seat to the initiative that has proved so successful for them, and positively impacted member satisfaction and member retention rates."
