Aside from the obvious quality of life benefits that patients enjoy when their cognitive health is maintained, the overall cost of individual healthcare is also closely tied to cognitive health. An analysis of recent Medicare data shows that demented patients are approximately 4 times more costly per year than non-demented patients.

For Medicare Advantage plans and for Accountable Care Organizations, proactive management of cognitive health is an opportunity to improve patient wellness while dramatically constraining overall costs. Our MCI Screen is an effective tool for efficiently identifying cognitive concerns without over utilizing diagnostic resources on healthy plan members.
