    BATON ROUGE, La., April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), a leading provider of home health, hospice and personal care, in collaboration with Sound Physicians, a leading physician practice partner to health systems and plans, physician groups and post-acute providers, will launch the Home Health Advanced Program in the southeastern United States. The program is part of both Amedisys’ and Sound Physicians’ efforts to provide the highest quality care to patients in their home upon their discharge from an acute setting.

    The program, anticipated to begin providing services in mid-May 2021, is designed to support home-based care for Medicare FFS patients who meet certain diagnosis and acuity levels. The program provides Amedisys personal care services, telemedicine services through Sound Physicians, a dedicated care coordination team and enhanced patient and caregiver communication during the first two-to-three weeks of a home health episode, all at no additional cost to patients.

    “This long-anticipated innovation will further prove the value of care in the home for higher acuity patients and caregivers,” stated Chairman and CEO Paul Kusserow. “The combination of the highest quality home health care in the industry and coordinated personal care support to help patients and caregivers with activities of daily living is the key to future innovations like these and has enormous implications for the future of healthcare. We could not have a better partner than Sound Physicians to deliver on this much-needed solution.”

    Amedisys’ unique Personal Care Network, now spanning 39 states and 1,500 agencies, will allow the Company to scale this program across its home health footprint.

    “As part of our ongoing commitment to improve quality and reduce costs for patients across their whole episode of care, we’re delighted to partner with Amedisys on a Home Health Advanced Offering,” stated Robert Bessler, MD, Founder and CEO, Sound Physicians. “Amedisys’ commitment to driving value aligns with our mission, and we look forward to further innovating with this unique care-at-home option, something our physicians and patients have long desired.”
