Almost one-third of total healthcare spending comes from hospital stays – a large portion of which are readmissions. With the future of healthcare under constant scrutiny, it’s no wonder health plans are paying a large price for excess readmissions. Care transition management has never been more important.
The average hospital per admission cost in 2010 was over $15,000, and health plans are not only concerned about 30-day readmissions but all readmissions in general. While 20 percent of Medicare members are readmitted within 30 days, even more are readmitted within 90 days.
Avery Telehealth understands the best ways to prevent readmission. We do it through care transition management and a proprietary Readmission Avoidance Program (RAP). The program offers health plans both 30- and 90-day proven programs that coordinate with current health plans and guarantee savings to ensure a great member experience.
