Chronic Care Improves with Medicare

The patients that are offered Medicare are often in need of some help with chronic care because of their age or physical condition.  In order to improve the access to this type of care Medicare has made some changes to how they treat chronic care in patients.  Two things that are affected with this type of coverage are listed below. • So that you can avoid having to see multiple doctors that don’t work together you will have the option to see community health teams.  This will give a more focused approach to your chronic care, meaning more of a success should be seen in terms of your condition.  The more you see the same people the more likely you are to feel better.

• In too many instances people are not given the right care when they return home from a lengthy hospital stay and that has been reformed as well.  Because people identify with those that they know and generally their condition improves this is going to be the approach.  You are more likely to get better around those you know and this way you will have that opportunity.
