Convenient ways to pay

No one knows more about the health condition of the member and is better positioned to identify and capture this information than the HomeCare Aide.

Recognizing the critically important role home care aides play, we developed and implemented our Addus Dual Advantage®model. Under this program, Addus’ HomeCare Aides have full visibility into the specific and unique social, clinical and activities of daily living needs of the member. During the normal course of providing services, they continuously identify changes in the member’s condition based upon a pre-determined checklist which can be customized to meet the payor’s requirements and the member’s diagnosis. This information is communicated, using our proprietary technology, to the appropriate health care professional and triggers the development of an action plan resulting in early intervention and better health outcomes. This empirically leads to fewer hospitalizations and other costly acute care services.

Effective integration of in-home personal care and medical services lowers costs for the Dual Eligible and Medicaid populations, while improving their quality of life. That is the Addus Dual Advantage®.
