Working towards a healthier you
Part A
Active Disease Risk Management (ADRM)
Who we are
ADRM is a program focusing on high risk members with high risk identified through a
predictive model
Medscheme has an advanced predictive model which identifies and risk stratify high
risk beneficiaries.
These high risk beneficiaries have various co-morbidities and they have an increased
chance of being hospitalised within 12 months.
Knowing who these beneficiaries are allow us to tailor our interventions for these
beneficiaries ensuring that the Scheme risks are efficiently managed.
3
What we do
ADRM intervenes on these beneficiaries High risk beneficiaries identified bi-annually
through predictive modelling and.
Once loaded on system, a welcome letter will be sent to these beneficiaries.
Our interventions are primarily on 3 levels – ADRM Level 1 (Non Clinical), ADRM
Level 2 (Clinical) and Life coaches.
The conversations are in the format of a questionnaire where all information
exchanged is recorded.
4
Why we do what we do
The intention is to gain insight into the beneficiary’s treatment adherence, outcome of tests done,
assistance required by the beneficiary, identifying high risk factors and relevant referral to the FP if
required.
In addition to the FP referral, risk factors from Level 1 will also trigger to Level 2 where a Clinical Care
manager will intervene on the following programs:
 Asthma
 Cardiovascular disease
 Diabetes types 1 & 2
 Mental Wellness (Depression and Bipolar)
Beneficiaries are followed-up after 3 months and if additional support is required more regular follow-
ups will be scheduled.
Other programs being managed by the team -
 High Risk Maternity
 Post discharge program
5
What we don’t do
We do not confirm member benefits MH does
We do not grant any authorisations. Hospital authorisation does
We do not do face to face sessions or home visits
6
Which SPN we collaborate with
Healthi Choices. Healthi Choices provides MHRS with data of high-risk maternity
members and wellness days outcomes for ADRM to intervene on. ADRM calls
members and provides Health information and interventions
7
Frequently asked questions
What qualifies as a High-Risk member?
We have a Heath Intelligence unit that uses a predicative model to identify members.

(CBNR)
Who we are

The family practitioner is the coordinator of the spinal care and it is complimented by the
rest of the multidisciplinary team (including a physiotherapist and biokineticist).
Members identified or referred for the programme will be contacted and receive related
information.
Members will be referred to the nearest DC or Workability centre and appointments will be
managed by the centre
The centre will perform an assessment which will determine the treatment.
Treatment will need to be completed in order for the member to benefit the programme.
13
Why we do what we do
To rehabilitate and/or prevent surgery
A baseline assessment is undertaken by the DBC/Workability centre for suitability.
Assessment will determine if member will require low, medium or high-risk
treatment.
Patients exercise twice a week as this is the optimal physiological function required
by spinal muscles.
Maintenance – Members are allowed 2 repeats (1 on a quarterly bases) to
monitor the progress of the patient.
