How to tell employees about PCMH

Think your employees would be interested in a program that keeps the quality of health care up and costs down?

Then you might be interested in telling them about the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) program.

What is PCMH?

In a patient-centered medical home, one doctor leads a care team that focuses on keeping a patient healthy, instead of just treating them when they are sick. Studies show that PCMH practices reduce unnecessary use of health care by as much as 22 percent. You can read this edition of BluesMarketplace℠ for more information.

Here are some resources to help employees learn about PCMH. They can switch to a PCMH-designated doctor no matter what plan they have.
