Insurer-Physician Collaboration Improves Quality of Care, Patient

Compliance, and Lowers Costs

NEWARK and EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- A first-in-the-nation, ground breaking pilot program has produced empirical data demonstrating the effectiveness of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PC-MH), a concept of care that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal physicians and -- when appropriate -- the patient's family.
