Our DCE

CareConnectMD is excited to announce our new partnership with Medicare, CareConnectMD at Home!

CareConnectMD at Home launched in April 2021 to provide quality, compassionate care to high needs patients wherever they call home. Medicare selected CareConnectMD with its 25 years of delivering clinical results for the frail and seriously ill population. This program, known as a Direct Contracting Entity (DCE), will improve coordination of medical care for our patients and health outcomes.

A DCE is a group of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who agree to work together to keep you healthy and see that you get the right care at the right time. We will coordinate your care according to your individual medical needs and treatment choices. We will protect your medical records and privacy. We will work to reduce duplicate tests and duplicate paperwork that cost you time and money. Our goal with CareConnectMD at Home is simple – to deliver more care, more comfort, and more communication, while empowering our patients and their families to be actively involved in their healthcare decisions.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

A patient is eligible to be part of this service if they have Medicare or Medi-Medi, and meet the criteria deemed as high-needs.

WHO PROVIDES THE CARE?

Your physician who is participating in our high needs direct contracting program. Our CareConnectMD at Home nurse practitioners will also collaborate with your physician to provide more care.

WHERE IS THE CARE PROVIDED?

We provide care wherever you call home, whether that is your residence, a skilled nursing facility, or assisted living facility.

HOW WILL CARECONNECTMD AT HOME BENEFIT ME?

Your primary care physician has chosen to participate in this DCE because they have access to additional resources that will allow them to provide quality care. You do not have to change your primary care physician nor will your Medicare benefits change. You may still go to any doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider that accepts Medicare. However, because your doctor is now connected with CareConnectMD at Home, some special features may be available to you at no extra cost. These special features are listed below:

• 24/7 access to clinicians

• In-home wellness programs & assessments

• Use of telehealth and remote monitoring

• Behavioral health coordination

• Education and caregiver support

• Assistance in completing an Advanced Directive/POLST

• Dedicated care coordinator and social worker

• Palliative and end-of-life care

HOW CAN I GET STARTED?

If you are a Medicare patient, please talk with your primary care physician to find out whether they are a participant in the CCMD at Home Program. If they are, please complete and return the Voluntary Alignment form to confirm that CareConnectMD at Home is your main doctor or healthcare professional for routine primary care. Or click on the button below to help determine if you are eligible for these services.
