Family Choice plan enhances quality of care and life for nursing home and adult care facility residents
If you have a loved one who resides in a participating nursing home or adult care facility in Western New York, Independent Health’s Medicare Family Choice® HMO I-SNP plan can provide them with an extra level of care and support to meet their special needs.
Members enrolled in the Family Choice plan receive regular visits from a nurse practitioner (NP)/physician assistant (PA) who is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Family Choice NP/PA works with the member’s physician and facility staff to help identify potential problems before they become serious and minimize unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital stays whenever it’s safe and appropriate. In addition, they keep the member, their family and all other team members informed through ongoing communication.
Family Choice members enjoy no or low out-of-pocket costs. Plus, enrollment for the plan is year-round.
