Care Consult
When members are facing complex or rare diagnoses, care consult enables Premise primary care providers to engage with the expert specialists at Mayo Clinic. This collaboration with the world’s best hospital gives members peace of mind and providers extra support on diagnosis and treatment plans.
Objective insights at critical moments.
If a member receives an abnormal test result, undergoes ineffective treatment, or is told by a community provider they need major surgery, they may benefit from a second opinion. In these critical moments, Premise Health providers gain access to objective expertise from a Mayo Clinic specialist or subspecialist. By working with the best, we help members navigate tough decisions – saving time and money.
Care consult is our written second opinion solution that gives us access to the highest-quality specialty expertise, avoiding unnecessary care, optimizing treatment plans, and granting members peace of mind.
Provider-to-provider collaborations yield powerful results.
Second Opinions that Matter
25% of care is unnecessary or ineffective. That’s why Premise Health has teamed up with Mayo Clinic to deliver a clinically integrated approach that spans from primary through subspecialty care. Our providers ensure members receive appropriate, evidence-based treatment plans and hands-on guidance when they need it most.
Delivering Actionable Answers
Whether a member is dealing with a complex condition, conflicting results, or a wandering diagnosis, we leverage our collaboration with Mayo Clinic to gain access to objective expertise on the best course of action. This electronic provider-to-provider written consultation includes a thorough review of the member’s medical record and a recommended treatment plan based on their specialized experience – whether locally or at a Mayo Clinic treatment destination.
Technology-Enabled Care
Both Premise and Mayo Clinic utilize the same electronic health record system. Leveraging this integrated platform supports interoperability and helps extend Mayo Clinic knowledge and expertise to Premise providers at the point of care. This supports care coordination while minimizing variability and unnecessary specialty referrals.
Reducing Wasteful Medical Spend
Between $760 and $935 billion goes to waste annually – much of this is a result of the complexities of specialty care. We’re setting the bar higher in the healthcare industry by helping our members overcome barriers to quality care, such as access, time, and coordination. We’re giving our people the opportunity to benefit from a seamless care experience that is helpful, not a hassle.
