Disease Management At The Core
• Save Money• Encourage Self-Care• Quality of Life
![Page 4: Home Care - Disease Management Americare Services Group.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c02013/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Saving Money• Research shows that over 70% of a person’s
medical expenses are paid out in the last two years of life
• Research also shows that poor self-care and/or limited social resources increase medical expenses
Interpretation – Providers who have financial risk are tired of paying unnecessary costs because a member doesn’t know how or refuses to take proper care of their health

Encouraging Self Care
Self-Care means less reliance on others, particularly medical professionals.
Opportunity for Non-Medical Home Care
Self-Care also equals self-pay care. As we know, private duty is not a typically covered service.
