Having to deal with a serious illness or condition can be trying and stressful times for a person, their family and their caregivers. No one should need to go through it alone. With our Advance Care Planning Program, your eligible1 Florida Blue patients will get the care they need while their families and caregivers also receive support. We will collaborate with you about your patient’s state of health throughout their illness or condition. The program includes:
1) Advanced Care/Life Planning Services:
Living Well2, from Vital Decisions, offers patients advanced care and life planning services which:
• Helps individuals identify their quality-of-life preferences and values
• Assists individuals in actively and effectively communicating their priorities to family and physicians
• Ensures a more effective shared decision-making process occurs during this difficult time
2) Palliative Care Delivery:
Our palliative care delivery providers and care managers, offer ethical, compassionate care for the patient. Our care delivery providers also provide support for your patient’s family and caregivers. Physical symptom management, spiritual, cultural, environmental and social factors are considered for their care. A physician from one of our palliative care delivery providers will be assigned to your patient. They will contact you to collaborate in the management of your patient’s care. When appropriate, members will receive help with the transition to hospice care.
