New value-based contract means Humana Medicare
members now have in-network access to Community Care Physicians
primary care and specialty physicians and medical facilities, with
care aimed at helping people achieve their best health
Community Care Physicians (CCP) and health and well-being
company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) have signed a new value-based
agreement that provides in-network access for Humana Medicare
Advantage members at CCP facilities.
The contract provides Humana HMO, PPO and PFFS Medicare
Advantage members in-network access to CCP’s 248 primary care and
specialty physicians at its 37 practices across the Capital
District as well as its five urgent care facilities in Delmar,
Niskayuna, North Greenbush, Albany and Latham.
“We’re pleased that this new agreement with Community Care
Physicians not only expands our Humana footprint in the Capital
District, but it also unites us around our common goal of providing
individual-focused care and improving the health of our Humana
Medicare Advantage members,” said Humana Northeast Medicare
President Alexander Clague.
Value-based care is designed to help people achieve their best
health by emphasizing:
- More face time with physicians and
personalized care that is tailored to each person’s unique health
situation;
- Access to proactive health screenings
and programs that are focused on preventing illness;
- Improved care for people living with
chronic conditions with a focus on avoiding health complications
(watch Humana’s “Better Chronic Management Through Value-Based
Care” video);
- Leveraging technologies, such as data
analytics, that connect physicians and help them work as a team to
coordinate care around the patient; and
- Reimbursement to physicians based
primarily on the health outcomes of their patients rather than the
number of services they provide (fee-for-service).
Under this new agreement, physicians will also benefit by having
new tools, better data and access to care support to maximize time
spent with their patients covered by Humana Medicare Advantage. For

The provider may also contract with other plans.
