Remote healthcare technology, which can include remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs, personal emergency response systems (PERS), mhealth, telehealth services and other virtual care solutions, is one of the fastest growing supplemental benefit areas in Medicare Advantage plans.

Research has demonstrated that digital health and connected care solutions can help lower healthcare costs while reducing hospitalizations, and enhancing member care and outcomes, which influence CMS Star Ratings.

Clear Arch Health offers Medicare Advantage plans access to RPM, PERS, and remote life safety solutions that can enhance the health and satisfaction of members who may be elderly, living independently, aging-in-place, and/or require assistance with managing chronic health conditions.

Additionally, our scalable solutions and remote monitoring programs can positively impact health status, support continued well-being and directly address the challenges of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) by reducing widespread inequities in healthcare.

What is Medicare Advantage?

Sometimes referred to as Plan C, Medicare Advantage can be a good choice for Medicare beneficiaries who are looking for more comprehensive coverage than Original Medicare offers, or who want to save money on their healthcare costs.

Medicare Advantage plans typically have lower premiums, lower copays, coinsurance, and deductibles and are offered by private insurance companies, which gives patients more choices and flexibility. Medicare Advantage plans also offer a variety of supplemental benefits to attract members, such as dental, vision, hearing, companion plans, meal delivery and PERS benefits.
