Geriatric House Calls, provided by highly trained physical, occupational, and speech therapists, enhance access and treat the physical, functional, cognitive, and expressive decline associated with many chronic diseases, sedentary behavior, and lack of social interaction that is more prevalent due to COVID-19. The ideal approach is proactive investment in the downstream heath and costs associated with these older adults. This webinar will describe an innovative model of care delivery that saves 9.5% (Optum Advisory Services) in total downstream costs for older adults, improves patient satisfaction, and increases the likelihood of increasing health plan membership.
