Medical and Disease Management

Dean integrates physician leadership at the health plan, our hospitals and clinics to develop cost containment plans. We provide Utilization Management, Case Management, trend analysis and employer based wellness offerings to help each client establish a cost-effective plan. Our top priority is to help members develop a self-care regimen when faced with a chronic disease such as heart failure or diabetes.
