Coordinated Healthcare by Peter Volberding, Aug 14, 2008 (10:38pm)

HR 2244, the Geriatric Assessment and Chronic Care Coordination Act of 2007, would authorize Medicare coverage of two more services, both of which would increase the effectiveness of medical care and decrease costs. The first is a geriatric assessment, which is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s condition and a plan to keep the person healthy. The second service the Act authorizes is coordination of medical care for individuals who have multiple chronic conditions. Since 70% of seniors have two or more chronic illnesses, coordinating them would clearly help reduce costs, promote efficiency, and provide better services.
