designed to assist in the continuum of care for the last 12-18 months of a member’s life,

unique traditions, attitudes and beliefs of each individual and family.

PROVEN OUTCOMES

INSPIRIS’ Inspired Living program has a dramatic effect on end-of-life costs and member's quality of life. The program is both proven and replicable in a variety of health plan settings and has demonstrated to dramatically affect the end-of life costs for those members involved while improving the quality of the final months of life for both the member and the family.

THREE-TIERED APPROACH

The Inspired Living program offers a tiered approach with three levels of programs, depending upon member risk level and readiness. The members targeted by these programs are at high risk of falling through the cracks of the existing healthcare system. Inspired Living program offers a continuum of services that support members from the initial diagnosis of a life-threatening illness through the end of life.
