Post Discharge Meals

Health Insurance Companies are finding significantly reduced readmissions by providing recently discharged patients with meals after being sent home from their hospital stay. Reason being, is that many times the newly released patient returns to an empty home, with an often-empty cupboards and refrigerator, not having healthy food to help the body regenerate after the hospital stay.

By providing limited meals (Typically 10 days’ worth of meals-either 1 or 2 meals per day) there are significant advantages to both the patient and the Insurance Company. There have been several respected studies on the topic and Health Insurance Companies are seeing a reasonable decrease in readmissions in the 11% - 12%+ range. For Insurance Companies this is money out of their pocket since readmissions for the same health issue are paid for by the Insurance Company not CMS, if they occur within a short period of time.
