Purpose: This study was done to analyze the effects of tele?care case management services using secondary
data.
Methods: A descriptive research design was utilized, and the participants were 134 medical aid beneficiaries who were in either the high?risk group or the preventive group. Case management services were delivered by 8 care managers. Data were analyzed using PAWS Statistics 17 through descriptive statistics and paired t?test.

and reasonable medical care utilization increased significantly for the high?risk group. However there were no significant changes in the preventive group.
