"Not only do they see a health status improvement in this population, but utilization and spending have decreased too. Cardea found that inpatient stays, ER visits, psychiatric visits, and nursing home stays have declined by nearly 80% among Oak Days residents, representing an enormous savings for the people who pay the bills — indirectly the state and now directly the health plans contracted to CalAIM. With the long-term cost of nursing home care now under managed care plans, rather than the state fee-for-service program, health plans have a vested interest in supporting people to live outside nursing homes. Thus, a model such as Oak Days could be of material interest to these plans." https://lnkd.in/g-krfYUf Great piece from California Health Care Foundation, take a look.

Recuperative Care is among the benefits that Medi-Cal is now paying for as a result of CalAIM, the state’s initiative to improve health outcomes for Medi-Cal beneficiaries. L.A. Care has long known the value of recuperative care, which is a place for members experiencing #homelessness to go when they no longer require hospitalization but still need time to heal. That’s why it was paying for this care before CalAIM. Harbor Care Center is one of L.A. Care’s partners, caring for more than 100 members each year. http://spr.ly/6045RHTHR We are committed to changing lives through service and quality care, innovative programs and ground-breaking initiatives.

What is EMS today? Is it what you see on TV or in movies? EMS started as an improvement to service to transport you to a hospital, with treatment and care along the way. For the first time we brought care to you – but only in an emergency. It was an enormous step up from a stretcher in a hearse supplied by a funeral home (because they had the vehicles). From the extremes of defibrillating a cardiac patient in a marathon to assisting a senior citizen with her or his prescriptions for cancer treatment or congestive heart failure: is EMS an emergency service, a health care service or a preventive medical service? The answer to that depends on who you ask, as EMS still has several delivery models and philosophical approaches. Are we a community service in the continuum of healthcare or just the angels of 3:00 AM? We are balancing the original-and-since-improved, yet cobbled-together, EMS system as an essential service with the changing needs of healthcare for our citizenry. #MedicLife #Ambulance #EmergencyMedicine #TraumaCare #Rescue #911 #airambulance #emsac

Listen in as host Steve Kuker, President of Senior Care Consulting, has a Consumer Alert about a Medicaid-qualifying related issue and ticking time bomb you may not be aware of, explains the Medicaid penalty divisor, and how to calculate a Medicaid penalty. Steve reviews the Care Contract, when and why it’s important to have one, and what happens if you don’t have a Care Contract. Spoiler alert: you’re not going to like the answer to that one! Steve answers the question “can you move to another nursing home while on Medicaid”? Then, Steve compares and contrasts his firm Senior Care Consulting with the “free” referral services, explains why more and more providers are not willing to “pay to play”, and reveals another major conflict of interest regarding these types of services. #SeniorCare #SeniorCareLive #SeniorCareConsulting #SeniorLiving #KansasCitySeniorCare #SeniorCarePlacement #SeniorCareAdvisor https://lnkd.in/gTZKgFMA
