This Living to 100 Club podcast introduces our listeners to an innovative home-based medical care program, WellBe Senior Medical. Our guest is Dr. Iyad Houshan. We discuss the benefits of at-home medical care with older adults who are faced with multiple and complex health challenges. Our listeners will learn about the “full risk” model of reimbursement, vs. the traditional fee-for-service model. We understand how this incentivizes WellBe to provide a comprehensive, holistic services program. We also learn how this comprehensive care model reduces the need for frequent acute hospital or skilled nursing re-admissions. It also avoids the problems with home health services that too often become fragmented and ineffective at avoiding re-admissions. This is another highly educational conversation for our listeners as we explore a breakthrough care model for the most-frail seniors in our communities.
