$543,900 Savings for Lung Transplant Candidate:
48 year-old spouse participated in annual screening in August 2019. Identified through annual screening as morbidly obese, poorly managed blood pressure, GERD, and COPD.
Timing was everything in this case. Member not on shock claim list, not a high claimant yet – but the annual health screening put her on PAHM’s radar. Nurse care management outreach indicated that the member was having serious health issues which put her at high risk for hospitalization and her doctor put her on the transplant list. She is diagnosed with high blood pressure, COPD, morbidly obese. Member reported that her Pulmonologist put her on the transplant list as her lung capacity was not improving. Her nurse worked with her to follow-up with her physician, participate in pulmonary rehabilitation, compliance with COPD medications and to lose weight. Nurse Care Manager motivated her to exercise and work on breathing exercises. As of December 2019 her doctor took her off the transplant list. She has lost 23 pounds, compliant with her medications, and is committed to continuing exercise and to lose weight.
$226,550 Savings for Pancreatitis and Intestinal Surgery:
Plan Paid ICU and Hospital Stay, $34,512
Potential Savings: $226,550 (Plan Paid)
(Avoided Sepsis infection/extended hospitalization and nursing home recovery)
50-60-year-old male employee participating in annual health screenings and nurse care management since August 2019. Poorly managed cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes. Member also now being followed due to being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Recent hospitalization for pancreatitis and intestinal surgery without complications.
This could have been MUCH worse! This member has been working with his nurse since August 2019 to improve managing high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. He is also obese with a BMI of 34.7. He has begun making dietary changes, losing weight, and becoming more compliant with medications. In the meantime, he was diagnosed and being treated for prostate cancer.
During his May nurse care management call he was complaining about diarrhea and noted that he had it for 3 weeks. He said he thought it was getting better and that it was just a virus. His nurse immediately advised him that a virus does not last 3 weeks and that this could be signs of a much more serious condition. She advised him to immediately contact his doctor.
His nurse learned during the recent June nurse care management call, that he followed her advice and his physician instructed him to immediately go to the emergency room. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis and due to bowel obstruction, required surgery to remove a portion of his small bowel. The member spent several days in the hospital on antibiotics before he was able to undergo surgery. He has recovered well without infection or any complications from surgery. His doctor advised him that if he had waited any longer, he would have resulted in sepsis which is a chain reaction in the body causing tissue damage, organ failure and often death. This member avoided a lengthy hospital stay and nursing home recovery. The member was also instructed on proper diet following intestinal surgery. He was very thankful that his nurse was attentive and responsive to his health concerns and helped him understand the need to immediately contact his physician.
Potential Savings: $226,550 -actual claim paid by Company ABC Health Plan for another member’s sepsis hospitalization and nursing home recovery.
