The pilot program offers supplemental private insurance to residents of Erickson Retirement Communities, which owns 18 facilities nationwide, the newspaper said.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/11/keeping-seniors.html">The premiums are used to pay for on-site physicians and nurses. Because physicians work where residents live, it's easier for residents to visit them and for staff to alert doctors of potential problems. By keeping closer tabs on patients and catching problems early, the number of costly hospital stays paid for by Medicare is reduced.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/11/keeping-seniors.html">Currently, 2,300 seniors are enrolled. "The only question is whether Erickson can continue that success as the number of enrollees grows," Jeffrey Kramer, director of the Center for Health Care and Insurance Studies at the University of Connecticut, told the newspaper.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/97A643AF-8BD2-4C03-AABC-2FC01CCA16A0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
