Primary Care Teams For Medicare Beneficiaries At Home

New legislation authorized by Section 3024 of the Affordable Care Act will bring primary care teams into the homes of certain Medicare beneficiaries. Physicians and nurse practitioner teams will be testing a new service delivery model starting in 2012 that enables chronically ill patients to remain in their homes and receive services.
