We’re actively surveying Peoples Health plan members within a month following a visit with their primary care provider (PCP).

Female patients ages 67 to 85 who sustained a fracture (except of the finger, toe, face or skull) should have a bone mineral density (BMD) test performed or be prescribed a drug to treat or prevent osteoporosis within six months of the fracture

Patients prescribed long-term medication supplies are more likely to stick to their medication regimens. Mail-order programs can also help with timely medication refills.

CMS emphasizes services that impact patients’ health experiences, which in turn can affect treatment adherence and overall health. Coordination of care means knowing patients’ health needs and preferences and communicating them at the right time to the right people for the delivery of high-quality, high-value care.

We’ve scheduled targeted outreaches this year to our members—your Peoples Health patients—to stress the importance of certain activities, including getting needed tests and preventive screenings.
