LifeMasters Supported SelfCare, one of the nation's leading disease management companies, provides programs and services that create health partnerships among individuals, their physicians and payors.
History and Mission
The company was founded in 1994 by David E. Goodman, M.D., a Harvard-trained physician with the vision of creating a coordinated approach to preventive care for chronic illness rather than simply managing the condition. Since its founding, LifeMasters has been focused on one mission: to empower individuals living with chronic diseases to achieve optimal health.
LifeMasters stands alone as the only disease management company in the nation with a long tenure uniquely focused on delivering disease management solutions that improve health outcomes while significantly reducing costs. Today, LifeMasters is one of the largest and most widely recognized disease management providers in the nation. With over 600,000 participants, LifeMasters offers programs for individuals with diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hypertension and asthma (all of which are fully accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and URAC) and musculo-skeletal pain. LifeMasters’ programs are holistically focused and support co-morbidities such as depression and facilitate lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and weight loss.
Our Program
LifeMasters’ disease management program participants develop one-on-one relationships with specially trained nurses who provide support, information, and personalized coaching designed to educate participants and provide them with the tools to help them achieve their optimal level of health. In addition, LifeMasters’ sophisticated data analysis system regularly monitors participants and gaps in their recommended care and notifies a participant’s personal physician if a clinically validated change occurs.
