Patient Centered Care

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has designated Family Practice of Cadillac as a 2020-2021 patient-centered medical home practice. The  designation is effective until August 2022. A Patient Center Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of healthcare based on an ongoing, personal relationship between a patient, doctor and the patient’s care team.
Whatever the medical needs primary or secondary, preventative care, acute care, chronic care, or end-of-life care the patient has a medical “home”; a single, trusted doctor and care team, through which continuous, comprehensive and integrated care is provided. For more  information regarding PCMH please click here.
