Referring a patient to Monarch Health
Monarch Health provides proactive assessment, care coordination and support at home as uninsured services alongside a patient's existing publicly funded care. We do not take over primary care, and we do not create a parallel route to insured services.
What we can take on
Proactive assessment beyond what insured care typically provides.
Comprehensive assessment, functional measurement and structured prevention planning for patients who want more depth than insured care provides.
Care coordination for complex patients
Where several providers are involved and coordination is consuming your time and the family's, we can hold that thread.
Support at home
Nursing care, personal care and home safety work for patients whose situation makes staying at home what matters most.
Functional review over time
Repeat measurement of strength, balance, gait and day-to-day function, reported back to you. Monarch communicates relevant findings, priorities, interventions and changes over time back to the referring physician, with the member's consent.
The boundaries, stated plainly
- We do not replace the referring physician or assume primary care responsibility unless that is separately arranged.
- We cannot expedite MSP-covered investigations, diagnostics or specialist referrals, and we will not present ourselves as able to.
- Membership is never a precondition for a patient receiving insured physician services.
- Where a patient is eligible for publicly funded home and community care, we help them access it rather than substituting for it.
