Health Plan Cost for Patients with Complex Medical Conditions
Complex medical condition means a diagnosis, treatment, or procedure that has a high degree of outcome variation and requires specialized skills possessed by a physician or a patient care team to provide care for the patient in order to prevent a serious adverse outcome. Many times, patients with complex conditions may wander through the health care system searching for a diagnosis or effective treatment plan. Others may be unable to access specialized care for complex conditions based on where they live. These scenarios can increase health plan costs and become obstacles for positive patient outcomes.
Every time these patients wander or seek treatment from multiple disassociated providers, health plan costs increase, and these patients are often the drivers of 85% of the plan cost. Without intercession and collaborative treatment, these patients will drive up health costs year after year.
When complex care is required, the ideal situation is to have collaboration between multiple medical specialties. Experts trained in virtually every medical specialty and subspecialty, made up of teams of the world’s leading experts, are working together to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient. Coupled with innovative technology and research programs, the experience and expertise to effectively care for patients who have serious, complex, and rare conditions is paramount.
