Home Member Services Care Management Member Review and Intervention Program

Member Review and Intervention Program

Community Health Plan's Member Review and Intervention Program (MRIP) helps members of some programs to use their medical services safely and appropriately.

Some members get care from several different doctors. They have a high number of the same medications. They use different pharmacies. They use the emergency room a lot. Sometimes the care is not coordinated and can be dangerous. Sometimes we place these people in MRIP because of these problems.

Members who are selected for MRIP must choose one primary care provider, pharmacy, and hospital. If the member does not choose providers, Community Health Plan will choose them for the member. Members in MRIP must go to these providers only. If a member in MRIP goes to any other provider, the member must pay for the service.

One primary care provider makes sure medical care and prescriptions are coordinated for the health and safety of the member. MRIP makes this possible.

Members stay in the MRIP program for at least two years. This is determined by state law (Washington Administrative Code 388-501-0135) if it applies.

Community Health Plan will contact you if you are being considered for this program.
