diagnosed with elevated cholesterol and Stage I blood pressure. He was

Pearl is a 64-year-old caucasian female cancer survivor. She lives outside of
Chicago in a fixed income household. Because she has Medicare, she has to
travel over an hour to see a primary care provider. Lately, she's been feeling
exhausted and not like herself. Her healthcare team does a routine exam, checks
her height and weight, but does not review her medical and medication history
and past
, cancer treatment. The PCP suggests she takes melatonin, provides healthy diet
recommendations, and asks that she returns in two weeks.
Given Pearl's situation, describe the implications of not providing value-based
care. List all cost considerations you think the doctor should have made before
recommending melatonin and a two-week follow up. - CORRECT ANSWER -
By not reviewing her medical history, they cannot determine if her current
symptoms are a sign of a larger problem. This will likely cause the underlying

visits and the addition of melatonin would increase out-of-pocket costs for the
patient.
