Care management often includes taking the lead role in care coordination between multiple providers of care and services, both medical and community-based care.

Our goal is to improve patient health status.

In health, prevention is any action taken to reduce the chance of getting a disease or condition. It can also include slowing or stopping the progression of a disorder, or reducing disability.

Preventive care is one of the most important steps you can take towards achieving and maintaining a healthy life.

Medication management is important for patients of all ages, especially those with chronic conditions. It can help to: prevent medication errors and adverse drug events, improve patient outcomes, reduce the risk of complications, improve patient satisfaction and quality of life, and reduce healthcare expenditures.

"GeneSight" is a laboratory developed genetic test that looks at many of the genes involved when your body processes certain types of medicines. It is the only genetic test that provides this combined view to help your healthcare provider know which medicines may be a match for your genes. GeneSight gives your healthcare provider important information to help you get on the right track.

Multiple clinical studies have shown that when healthcare providers used Genesight to help guide treatment decisions, patients were twice as likely to respond to the selected medication. Plus, with treatment guided by GeneSight, patients saw 70% greater improvement in their symptoms versus usual treatment. 

Many commercial and government insurance plans, including Medicare and the US Department of Veteran Affairs, reimburse all or part of the cost of GeneSight. Assurex Health also offers financial assistance programs for patients who qualify.

Is there a difference between a physical and a sports physical?

• An annual physical is a general wellness check that focuses on your child's overall health, whereas a sports physical is geared toward your child's ability to safely play a sport.
