Landmark Health, not a part of the Optum family, was created to
transform how healthcare is delivered to the most medically
vulnerable members in our community. Our medical group provides
home-based medical care to chronically ill patients, many of whom
are frail, elderly, and ill-equipped to navigate our overwhelming
healthcare system. Because many of our patients are frail and
elderly, we deliver care primarily in the comfort of their home.
Our Program is also offered to eligible patients at no incremental
financial cost to them. We are not a fee-for-service practice; we
benefit economically only if we deliver high-quality patient
outcomes and satisfaction. As a result, our clinical teams can
spend quality-time caring for a smaller number of patients, giving
all patients the space, respect, compassion and care they deserve.
Our model is finding success throughout the country; we are now the
nation's largest risk-based, in-home medical group, with operations
in numerous markets and states across the country. At Landmark, our
interdisciplinary teams collaboratively manage our complex patient
panels. These teams are led by Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and
Physician Assistants, with supporting care provided by RN Nurse

medical care and management to members served by the Landmark
