Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c29313) has announced the addition of Capitalizing on Preventive Opportunities Created by the Medicare Mod Act, Live Audio-Conference on CD-ROM to their offering.
Would you believe that less than half of Medicare beneficiaries between the ages of 65 and 74 years old have had a relationship with their primary care givers for five or more years? And 10% have had relationships with providers for less than one year. And, these facts translate to opportunities for health care providers.
Listen to the CD-ROM of Louis Pavia, President, Carecompanion, from the teleconference "Capitalizing on Preventive Care Opportunities Created by the Medicare Modernization Act."
This teleconference benefits hospitals, physician's groups, medical groups and other healthcare providers who are considering operational changes to leverage marketing opportunities presented by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). The MMA of 2003 not only created a prescription drug benefit but also introduced a number of other improvements to the Medicare covered benefits and approach to managing the health of seniors.
These changes translate into opportunities for hospitals and physicians to increase patient loyalty and 'bond' those becoming Medicare-eligible to your organization.
Topics Covered:
-- The new preventive care provisions of the MMA
-- The 'urgency' of the welcome to Medicare physical
-- How hospitals and physicians can take advantage of the profitable opportunities of the MMA
-- Real life examples of what some hospitals are doing
-- Lessons learned thus far
