ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
The overall goal of care management is to improve the coordination of services provided to clients who are enrolled in a care management program. Examples of groups of people who may be served by care management services include the elderly, children from low-income families who receive Medicaid services, and groups of people with chronic illnesses. The other groups do not represent groups who are typically enrolled in a care management program.
