Guided Care conducted a pilot test in a primary care practice in urban Baltimore during 2003-2004. The patients who received Guided Care rated their quality of care significantly higher than patients who received “usual care.” In addition, the average insurance costs for Guided Care patients were 25% lower over a six month period.
