“Care delivered by trained clinicians in the home setting costs less, improves health outcomes, and has the added benefit of keeping patients with significant health challenges out of emergency rooms, hospitals, nursing homes, and physician offices. Cost-savings data show that the use of home healthcare reduces overall Medicare spending compared to other institutional settings like nursing homes. For a majority of patients (91%), care in the home is preferred and involves minimal cost sharing compared to other settings.”
Overview
PurposeCare offers comprehensive health services, including home care and home health, for older Americans served by Medicare and Medicaid.
Since Medicaid is the largest payer for long-term care services — and those in need of these services are frequently over 65 — individuals who are Dual Eligible for Medicare and Medicaid especially benefit from PurposeCare’s coordinated home care strategy. Their coordinated focus on home care results in increased quality and reduced costs to the healthcare system; costs mostly borne by the Medicare system (e.g. hospitalizations).
