According to an article in Medical Economics Magazine, June 16, 2006.. more than 100,000 medicare beneficiaries have joined 8 pilot programs to reduce their health risks and improve the quality of life for the chronically ill. These programs were created by the Modernization Act of 2003 and are operating as Medicare Health Support Programs in Florida, Chicago, Washington D.C., Mississippi, Georgia , Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
This seems like a positive move from seniors and from medicare..do you agree? Have you had any experience with these programs that you can tell us about on this blog?
