The value-based agreement reflects a shift away from the current
episodic health care model to a value-based model that emphasizes
quality and patient care experiences. The accountable care approach
aligns Premier Health’s and Humana’s complimentary population
health capabilities, including predictive analytics, chronic
disease management and wellness programs.
“Providing individuals with more opportunities to access care is
a key ingredient in building healthier communities,” said Mike
Maiberger, Chief Value Officer at Premier Health. “We welcome this
relationship as it can foster coordination of care for patients
which can positively enhance their health.”
Humana’s growing Medicare Advantage population throughout
Southwest Ohio will have access to Premier Health’s leading network
of integrated primary care and specialty physicians, hospitals,
health centers, and outpatient centers at over 100 sites of
service.
“The accountable care approach aligns the players in the health
care system around the total health of our members and allows
doctors to spend more time with their patients,” explained Larry
Costello, President of Humana Senior Products in Ohio. “It’s an
important step in creating a more primary care-centric health care
system.”
The new Humana-Premier Health accountable care agreement
includes value-based incentives tied to performance improvement and
quality outcomes, emphasizing standard measures defined by the
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Healthcare
Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS), including breast
cancer screening, colorectal screening, comprehensive diabetes
care, and high-risk medications.
Humana has nearly 30 years of accountable care experience,
reflected in results from approximately one million Medicare
Advantage members that showed significant improvements in quality,
outcomes and costs in 2013.
