SCNs are responsible for screening Medicaid Members for unmet Health Related Social Needs (HRSNs) including Housing/Utility; Food Security; Transportation; Employment; Education, & Interpersonal Safety. SCNs are also responsible for screening Members for eligibility of community-based resources, State, &/or Federal resources. If Members qualify for any service meeting their HRSNs, SCNs are responsible for navigating & connecting Members with such resources. Once connected, SCNs are responsible for communicating with the Member to ensure Closed Loop Referrals have been completed to best meet Member needs.
