LEARN MORE ABOUT APC

Core services

Waiting to see a medical professional until you’re sick is as antiquated as it sounds.

Take control of your costs and promote better health outcomes for your employees. Employees deserve care that works with their lives and meets them where they are. Our APC model delivers quality healthcare with convenient physical and virtual appointments available for nearly all of our primary care services. When employees build trusting relationships with their providers in a primary care environment, ailments and at-risk behavior can be treated before it becomes more serious. The result? Overall health and the care experience improve.

Preventive care

Providing annual whole health evaluations, comprehensive physical exams, biometric screenings, health risk assessments, injections and immunizations, travel medicine, and provider-dispensed medications.

Onsite labs and coordination of specialty care also increase the convenience of patient visits.

Unplanned care

Treating illness and serious injuries quickly, with episodic sick and urgent care. The primary care team will provide care for suturing and basic wounds, sprains, infections, colds and upper respiratory issues, urinary tract issues, and asthma.

Clinically-integrated health coaching

Facilitating lasting lifestyle and behavior change that improves health. Vera’s health coaches are an integral part of the primary care team, trained in empathetic listening and the transtheoretical behavior change model. They provide the guidance and support patients need to own and manage their own health.

Disease management

Managing the chronic medical conditions of high-risk, high-cost patients through education. The primary care team helps affected patients understand their disease, its causes, exacerbating factors, ways to avoid worsening the condition, and how to manage their health for improved quality of life.

The Vera solution

We’ll help you establish centralized care for optimum coverage and maximum results.

Through Vera’s advanced primary care model, 80-90% of care is delivered in the primary care setting, which minimizes dependence on costly specialist care. Patients receive consultations, treatment, and clinically integrated health coaching in one convenient location, with a primary care team they know and trust.

Under our model of advanced primary care, we help:

identify-engage-intervene
Identify, Engage, and Intervene

Vera analyzes available claims data to identify patients most at risk for various diseases, illnesses, and other medical conditions. From there, the primary care team will reach out and engage with these patients during longer appointments to understand the underlying causes and discuss approaches to improving their health.

care-team
Build A Care Plan

Care teams develop a care plan that empowers patients to take ownership of their health. This plan will include appropriate specialists and integrated follow-up at the primary care center. As a patient’s needs change, their plan is kept updated with new treatments, medications, and other requirements to expedite positive health outcomes.

coordinate-care-plans
Coordinate Care

The primary care team will oversee the majority of patient care and provide care coordination when a visit to a specialist or another medical facility is necessary. The patient’s regular care team coordinates these visits and follow-ups, which minimizes gaps in information and treatment. This keeps both the patient and primary care team in the loop.

vera-whole-health-coach-what-makes-the-difference
Increase Access and Convenience

Our care centers work alongside your current insurance plan to deliver advanced primary care as a medical “home” for patients. When employees feel comfortable visiting care centers for a variety of reasons, the primary care team can establish stronger patient relationships, collect more consistent data, and deliver more effective treatment for better outcomes.

Let's work together

We’re your partner in building a primary care solution that aligns with your need for better care that improves health while driving down cost. Vera leads the industry in fostering patient engagement and population health management for a healthier, more satisfied workforce.

7 LIES We’ve Told Ourselves That Prevent Us From Fixing Healthcare

We constantly talk about fixing healthcare, but we lie to ourselves about what’s driving our system’s flaws. The result is that our self-deception prevents us from seeing what’s really going on, and guarantees we’ll keep making the same mistakes. In this white paper, we take on seven of those mistakes, and the lies that are driving them.
