Lifespark is a complete senior health company that brings together a full spectrum of senior health services for a single, home-based, more coordinated experience. The combination of proactive and responsive health services helps members stay healthy at home.
Lifespark works as an in-network provider serving Twin Cities&rsquo; metro Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Medicare Advantage (Blue Cross MA) members. Lifespark COMPLETE &ndash; its flagship program &ndash; is available at no additional cost under qualified Medicare Advantage plans.
How does Lifespark COMPLETE work?&nbsp;
Using a team approach, Lifespark COMPLETE uses a whole-person model to engage members - especially those with complex health needs - and their families in building a proactive, preventive complete life plan for ongoing health and well-being wherever they call home.
Services include:
<ul>
<li>In-home medical care: Physicians and Nurse Practitioners who specialize in the unique needs of older adults provide in-home medical services and primary care. Includes assistance with medication reviews and management, advance care planning, and proactive family care conferences.</li>
<li>Life management: Provides a single point of contact to assist members and their families with everyday and essential health needs. Working in partnership with the member, their family, and health care team, the Lifespark team can help manage health services, coordinate support for an upcoming surgery, or assist in setting up privately paid services like appointment transportation or grocery delivery as well as help with medications and medical appointments.</li>
<li>Life planning: Individualized for each member, provides a more complete picture of the member, including information that matters to their health but is often left out from other health records such as personal preferences, hobbies, and priorities.</li>
</ul>
NEW THIS YEAR
<ul>
<li>Urgent response services: For unexpected medical concerns, one phone call connects members to immediate help - whatever the concern. Members get the option to receive urgent care in the privacy of their homes, saving them long waits in the Emergency Room while reducing stress on family caregivers. And because the Mobile Urgent Responders are part of the Lifespark team, they know members in those moments that matter, responding in alignment with their life and health goals.</li>
</ul>
Additional highlights of Lifespark COMPLETE include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Flexible and convenient in-home health, primary care, and wellness visits.&nbsp;</li>
<li>More control when services come to members in the privacy of their homes.</li>
<li>Reduces stress on family members.</li>
<li>Saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary ER visit and hospital stays</li>
</ul>
Lifespark COMPLETE integrates closely with Lifespark&rsquo;s other services to give members complete senior health under one roof. Lifespark&rsquo;s comprehensive services include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Skilled Home Health</li>
<li>Community Home Care (private-pay)</li>
<li>Hospice &ndash; late life / end of life</li>
