2 thoughts on “Unorthodox primary care provider ChenMed entering Indy market

  1. Memo to Ben Harvey: As a patient, I don’t care if my health care provider is “community-led” or “community-driven” (whatever that means). What I care about is whether the physician I go to is qualified, and has my health as his or her only priority. If they keep me out of the hospital and do it at a lower cost, it doesn’t matter to me if they have “community perspective.”

  2. Looking at the finances is important to see that the function of the practice follows the mission statement. Selecting Medicare Advantage plans and keeping them accountable for the seniors who need care from a variety of community resources is a great way to assure quality care is delivered. This will likely result in preventing high cost care. If the patient’s personal physician can then follow through when considering end of life or expensive in patient care, actually being in a position to advocate their patient’s needs and desires, could result in real change.
