You may need chronic care management if you have been to the emergency room (ER) or hospital several times in the last 12 months. If you have more than one chronic condition, like diabetes, heart disease or stroke, you should call Variety Care to set up a chronic care management plan. Call Variety Care at 405-632-6688 if you think you may have a chronic disease or if you do not have a primary care provider, but have been told by another doctor that you have diabetes, heart disease, have had a stroke, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease or Alzheimer's Disease.
Establish Care With A Primary Care Provider
Regularly visiting a doctor can improve your quality of life when you have a chronic disease. It can also help reduce health care costs because consistent treatment can prevent worse health complications from developing later, as well as preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease.
