Reduce costly ER visits and hospitalizations
Medicare Advantage, Hospital and ACO medical groups
Reduce costly ER visits and hospitalizations
We recognize that frequent medical emergencies resulting in ER visits and hospitalizations that could have been avoided reduces the compensation to medical groups with value-based care contracts. It also negatively impacts patient satisfaction.
Care-A-Medix offers a program to reduce these high-cost medical emergencies that includes:
- Patient and home living condition assessments
- Care plan progress reports
- Disease management
- Self-care education
- Clinical consults via telehealth with the paramedic on site at the home
- Other medical interventions as requested by the patient's physician
Self-Insured Employer Health Benefits
Control expensive medical claims
Self-Insured Employer Health Benefits
Control expensive medical claims
Today, 67% of employers offering employee health benefits are self-insured. The employer must limit its fixed administrative costs (TPA and stop loss premiums) and control the medical claims that are its variable costs.
Employers may offer on or shared-site medical clinics, but not all employees use these.
The Care-A-Medix program delivers health care at the worksite and into the employee's home to reduce unnecessary medical claims. The program includes:
- Workplace wellness screenings
- Employee and home living condition assessments with care plan progress reports to the referring physician
- Disease management and self-care education
- Clinical consults via telehealth with the paramedic on site at the home
- Other medical interventions as requested by the employee's physician

How is Care-A-Medix different?
How is Care-A-Medix different?
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) paramedics respond by ambulance to homes to stabilize, support, and transfer patients exhibiting acute distress to the nearest emergency department. Many EMS services also use community paramedics to reduce frequent repeat 911 calls from patients with high-risk medical conditions.
Care-A-Medix home paramedics schedule home visits by car to:
- Assess the health status and the living environment for referred patients living with chronic health conditions like CHF, COPD, CKD, diabetes, asthma, and hypertension.
- Provide self-care education using resources that reinforce that provided by the care team in the medical office or clinic.
- Deliver disease management until the medical office, patient, caregiver, and paramedic agree that the patient is ready to manage his or her chronic health condition.
- Integrate with your care team to support quality care and patient satisfaction.

Takes the time to explain everything to me in a way I can understand it. He's a special person.
Makes sure people have the resources they need after they get out of the hospital.
It's nice to have someone come check on you and talk to you. I am happy and I will miss having James coming to visit me.
This is an excellent program sent by the Lord.

She was most thankful to our Home Paramedic James who had cared for her not just as a patient but as a dear friend.
AdventHealth Altamonte Hospital
(Home paramedic) Marcus was able to facilitate getting that patient seen immediately to address the hematoma, and start the patient on antibiotics to treat the wound.
Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital
Educating the patients with resources available to them and that they are not aware of, giving them that sense of trust that you really care for their well-being and asking tough questions to get to the bottom of other issues is a big win not only for the providers but also for the patients.
Care Manager, office of Dr. John Cappleman
