New Baltimore Plan Serves Chronically Ill

XLHealth will set up a team that includes a local health care manager, a local field nurse, a telephone coach nurse and a pharmacist for each plan member.

The plan has developed a formulary designed for chronically ill members. It also will provide preventive screenings, home nursing visits, and help with health care devices and equipment purchases.

The plan will try to appeal to members’ doctors by paying them for some services not covered by Medicare and supplying up-to-date patient reports compiled in an easy-to-read format, XLHealth says.
