All our services are fully compliant with CHC eligibility statutory responsibilities and deliver assessments, case reviews, dispute management and comprehensive reporting.

Benefits:

Our unique CHC operational model optimises service quality, consistency and affordability.

Our central administration hub manages the paperwork and administrative processing for all CHC clients from point of referral to invoicing. Specialist clinical staff are therefore free to focus on delivering care to patients at a local level.

By establishing a consistent process and a more mobile and agile workforce, patients are assessed more quickly and receive the same high quality of care regardless of where they live.

Our scale gives you access to an unrivalled range of specialists who have a wealth of knowledge and direct experience of overcoming CHC challenges, with the added benefit of flexible capacity to manage peaks and troughs.

With a strong focus on quality assessments and reviews, we also ensure our highly productive team delivers services efficiently, mindful of your budget.

Working with Arden & GEM gives you peace of mind that you have the expertise and flexibility required to maintain a high quality, efficient and cost effective CHC service, reducing your need for in-house staff.
