Overview

As part of the Medicare 9th SOW, Qualidigm will collaborate with primary care physician office practices to improve the quality and frequency of preventive health care services in order to optimize beneficiary quality of life and promote more efficient and effective utilization of healthcare services. The Prevention Theme focuses on the following services:
