Home Physicians Practice ModelHow medicine was meant to be practiced.
At ChenMed, we’re reimagining the healthcare experience for both patients and physicians. In our physician-led culture, you manage the entire patient journey. Leading a care team in a well-care approach that delivers VIP service and coordinated care to the most vulnerable population — seniors. It’s a formula that keeps patients independent and thriving and lets dedicated doctors like you be the kind of physician you always imagined being.
Fewer patients. More time for everyone.
We see 80% fewer patients than the average doctor, so our PCPs can spend more time building and fostering strong doctor-patient relationships that enhance compliance with treatment plans.
Empowering physicians to deliver better outcomes.
America’s healthcare system is built on volume-based incentives rather than successful outcomes, leaving many primary care physicians (PCPs) feeling drained of their purpose. Our approach focuses on wellcare— better everyday health and fewer hospital visits. See how it compares to the traditional fee-for-service model.
