Healthcare Savings
- When CMS introduced the Annual Wellness Visit, this was CMS changing their philosophy from “reactive” care to “proactive” preventative care for Medicare patients.
- Chronic Care Management, introduced last year, is their second program to offer proactive care.
- Research consistently shows that effective chronic care management reduces the cost of care for chronic disease patients while improving their overall health.
- A Carnegie Mellon study in 2007 concluded that disease management resulted in: Hospital admissions reduced 38%, Hospital stays reduced by 36%, 30% reduction emergency room visits and overall cost reductions of 26%.
- Providing proactive care will keep Medicare beneficiaries living a healthy, independent life style and reduce overall medical costs.
- Studies show the cost for these independent patients will range from $1-$80 per day for care.
- However, For patients in Assisted Living, Nursing Home or Hospital Care costs range from $100-$10,000 per day.
- PQRS, HEDIS and Meaningful Use 1 & 2 credits. All of this with very minimal cost to the practice and no disruption to the daily workflow.
- COMPLIANCE, COMPLIANCE, COMPLIANCE: Prevention Plus is specifically designed to deliver compliant services and reports. We also work closely with our practices to inform them on how to deliver compliant follow-up patient visits. All of the components in our program are HIPPA, CMS or FDA compliant as required.
- A SINGLE SOURCE, FULLY INTEGRATED SOLUTION: We are not about offering one service and walking away like other companies. We have spent over a year researching what CMS wants for their beneficiaries. The result is a bundled comprehensive, preventative, care coordination program for Medicare patients.
