This study is looking at whether a program of calls and coordination can help people being released from prison connect with medical care. Researchers want to see if this program leads to more non-emergency, outpatient (clinic) visits within 60 days of release. You could join if you are 18 or older, plan to enroll in WI Medicaid, have a history of substance use, and have a chronic medical or psychiatric condition. The study compares people who receive phone calls and texts from a study team member to those who also work with a Nurse Case Manager (NCM). This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
