Direct Contracting – A New Medicare Program Launching April 2021
CareMore Health was selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to be part of a new Medicare program starting April 2021 called Direct Contracting. We have invited doctors and other health care providers to join CareMore in this program who will work together with CareMore to provide patients with better quality care as a combined group called Direct Contracting Entity (DCE).
This program is eligible to any patients who have traditional Medicare in select areas. Patients who want care from CareMore through the DCE will not have to change their PCP nor will their Medicare benefits change.
- All providers within the CareMore DCE are committed to providing patients with a great experience:
- All of the care providers will work together to give patients better care
- Patients’ care will be coordinated according to their personal medical needs and treatment choices
- Patients’ medical records and privacy will be protected
- We will reduce duplicate tests and paperwork to save patients time and money
For more information, please call: 877-421-5777
