This PPHP I-SNP is designed for eligible Medicare enrollees
who reside in a long-term care facility.
Simply put, the I-SNP is an all-inclusive plan that replaces traditional Medicare. It covers:
- Inpatient care (Part A)
- Outpatient and primary care (Part B)
- Supplemental benefits including vision, dental, hearing, etc. (Part C)
- Prescription drugs (Part D)
An onsite focus on preventative care.
With an I-SNP, PPHP provides facilities with a Nurse Practitioner and a Registered Nurse. PPHP’s goals are to:
- Improve outcomes
- Prevent unnecessary hospitalizations
- Reduce costs
This team coordinates all aspects of care, collaborating with residents, families, physicians, and hospitals, depending on a resident’s needs. Sophisticated technology and electronically tracked medical records provide up-to-the-minute information on each resident, helping the nursing team catch health issues early on.
Here again, the I-SNP is value-based, designed to mitigate illnesses and prevent unneeded hospital stays.
The care team’s roles…
Nurse Practitioner:
- Performs comprehensive health assessments
- Is onsite and available 24/7
- Coordinates care with the resident’s primary or facility-based practitioner across the care continuum
- Provides early identification of acute episodes arising from chronic conditions
- Helps educate and train facility staff in infection control and identifying various states of chronic diseases
Nurse Care Coordinator:
- Helps minimize the impact of the nursing shortage
- More timely treatment for residents and better coordination of appointments and surgeries
- Facilitates any transition in care, such as hospitalizations
In short, the I-SNP is better for everyone.
Provide a higher standard of care. Residents won’t need to be hospitalized as often. Families and physicians will be kept up to date on residents’ care.
And unlike other I-SNPs, the facility shares in 100% of the revenue gained by lowering the cost of care.
