Bluestone’s Model of Care

Tailored to Patients Living with Chronic Conditions

Bluestone Physician Services’ unique, robust model of care goes beyond primary care services. Our model is tailored to patients living with multiple chronic conditions and disabilities. Bluestone recognizes that patients need a customized approach to care that is preventative, proactive and includes all members of the care team. Medical providers, nurses and social workers collaborate with patients’ other healthcare providers and families.

Bluestone has locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, West Florida and East Florida and uses a mobile clinic approach to provide care to patients where they are, including in residential and home-based settings. We utilize simple, effective technology that allows the entire care team to communicate 24/7.

What Does it Look Like to be a Bluestone Patient?

Regularly Scheduled, Proactive Care Visits for Chronic Conditions, Including Dementia

Both in-person and telehealth options ensure patients’ continuation of care.

Effective and Frequent Communication Through the Bluestone Bridge

This innovative, online communication portal allows nurses and providers to communicate 24/7 regarding patient care.

Urgent Care Visits via Telehealth

Telehealth visits with a Bluestone provider can prevent emergency department visits or fill a temporary gap if your primary care provider is not accessible at this time.

Like a Primary Care Clinic, Just Mobile

There are no additional fees associated with our service. We bill your insurance for office visits just like a brick-and-mortar clinic and are contracted with most major Medicare and Medicaid programs.

Bluestone Takes a Proactive, Analytics-driven Approach to Care

Value-Based: Coding optimization and cost management ensure sustainability.

Risk stratification, comprehensive assessment, gaps in care tracking and data drive clinical decision making and improve patient experience.
