Cultural Competency
Magellan supports culturally sensitive care that respects the member’s cultural beliefs, practices and language preferences.
As you collaborate with us, we will ask you to employ current best practices in providing culturally competent care for our members. The following external resources will aid you (and us) in developing realistic and incremental organizational cultural competence plans.
- National CLAS Standards
- Georgetown University National Center for Cultural Competence
- National Center for Cultural Competence Self-assessments
- SAMHSA Cultural Competency Training and Resources
Locate our policies related to cultural competency in the Magellan National Provider Handbook (PDF), section 4.
