I. Pre-pilot Background

 

United’s proprietary Personal Service Delivery Program (PSDP) was developed by United in response to the growing number of Medicare beneficiaries with chronic health conditions and the need for solutions that improve their quality of life in a cost-effective manner. PSDP delivers high touch intensive services to members with high health risks. The emphasis is on providing personal face-to-face interventions designed to meet clinical, psychosocial, economic and functional needs. The program reaches out to chronically ill individuals and provides them the professional help they need to manage their illness.

 

The program’s proactive, holistic approach addresses:

 

  •   Avoidable utilization contributing to unnecessary medical trend.

 

  •   Lack of extended family caregivers.

 

  •   Communications between physicians, caregivers and patients, for more effective and efficient care.

 

  •   Declining functional status.

 

  •   Socio-economic challenges.

 

The parties have agreed to test the PSDP model described above in a Chronic Care Program made available to a select population of SHIP Medicare supplement insureds.
