Meeting patients where they are
Why the need for primary care services is growing
Individuals are living longer, so aging populations increasingly need primary and palliative care to maintain a higher quality of life. U.S. adults who have a primary care physician incur 33 percent lower health care costs, and 19 percent lower odds of dying than those who see only a specialist.¹
Carelon Health specializes in providing chronic, complex, and primary care to aging populations. Founded in 1993, Carelon Health operates 33 community centers, contracts 27 health plans, and services over 100,000 Medicare and Medicaid patients combined.
