II. Chronic Care Program Objective

 

The objective of the Chronic Care Program is to develop enough clinical evidence for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) to fund future chronic care management programs, allowing the SHIP program to receive reduced claim costs on existing members.

 

It is expected that a successful pilot outcome will bring long-term positive implications for the SHIP program, including:

 

  •   Increase quality of care received by AARP members.

 

     7

  •   Empower members to better manage their care.

 

  •   Drive satisfaction for members, caregivers and physicians.

 

  •   Promote more effective as well as efficient resource utilization.

 

  •   Reduce costs for CMS and the Medicare Supplement program.
