More Support Between Visits: Introducing Our Care Continuity Program
If you’ve ever gotten sick on vacation or had a medical emergency after doctors hours – you know that health doesn’t follow a neat schedule. Questions come up, medications change, and sometimes you need a little guidance between regular appointments. Having a healthcare team that stays involved in your care can make managing your health much easier.
At North Laurel Family Medicine, we want our patients to feel supported beyond their office visits. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Care Continuity Program through our partnership with Nura.
What Is Care Continuity?
Care continuity means staying connected with your healthcare team over time, rather than only checking in during scheduled appointments. For patients managing ongoing health concerns, this consistent communication can be especially helpful. It allows your care team to follow your progress, answer questions, and help coordinate different aspects of your healthcare.
Our new program provides qualifying Medicare patients with additional support between visits, based on their individual health needs.
How Does The Program Work?
Through Nura Care Continuity Services, eligible patients can receive personalized support without having to visit our office every time they need assistance. Depending on your needs, services may include:
- Regular communication with your care team
- Help managing medications and treatment plans
- Coordination between healthcare providers
- Ongoing support for chronic health conditions
- Remote Patient Monitoring when appropriate
This type of care may include connected monitors for blood pressure or blood sugar that patients use at home. Readings are securely shared with the care team, helping providers track changes and determine when additional attention may be needed.
Who Can Participate?
Our Care Continuity Program is available to Medicare beneficiaries who meet certain eligibility requirements. Through our partnership with Nura, powered by Medsien, a certified medical assistant may contact qualifying patients on behalf of our care team to explain the program and discuss enrollment. Participation is voluntary, and patients can stop at any time.
We’re Here To Help You Stay Connected
At North Laurel Family Medicine, we believe good healthcare starts with getting to know our patients and understanding their individual needs. Our new Care Continuity Program gives us another way to stay involved in your health, even when you’re not sitting in our office.
If you’re a Medicare patient interested in learning more, contact us to ask whether you may qualify for these additional services.
