Nurse practitioners work alongside physicians delivering care in the patient’s home.

• ENHB In Home Primary Care Program (Model 2): health plans look to us to conduct in-home longitudinal care for medically complex patients with chronic illnesses in an effort improve clinical outcomes. Our team collaborates with the patients’ primary care physicians (PCPs), and our visits serve as an adjunct to the care delivered by the PCP.
