Landmark physicians and advanced practice providers
(Complexivists®) utilize an integrated care model to treat the
whole patient. The company also employs pharmacists, nurses, social
workers, behavioral health clinicians, and dieticians to provide
care management in support of, and in coordination with, the
patient’s existing primary care physician - Landmark does not
replace patients’ regular doctors, but augments their care plans in
the home.
The program will be available to eligible Humana Medicare
Advantage HMO and PPO members with complex health needs - due to
multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, coronary heart
disease, cancer, and end-stage renal disease – who live in select
counties in Washington (starting in May); Kansas and Missouri
(starting in June); Kentucky and Ohio (starting in July); and
Louisiana and Mississippi (starting in August).
Available services will include urgent house-call visits 24
hours a day, seven days a week; maintenance visits to proactively
monitor conditions; post-hospital discharge visits to assist with
transition back into the home; and continuity-of-care in
coordination with the patient’s primary care physician or
specialist.
“This is a very exciting opportunity for Landmark for two key
reasons,” said Landmark Chief Business Officer Eric Van Horn.
“First, we are aligned in our beliefs that clinical excellence and
coordinated care will help people reach their best health outcomes.
Second, Humana offers us the opportunity to reach more
chronically-ill patients with the type of care we’d want for our
own loved ones.”
“We’re pleased to work with Landmark to bring this kind of
coordinated, at-home care model to our Medicare Advantage members
for the first time,” said Humana Health Guidance Organization Vice
President Chuck Stemple, D.O. “This collaboration will provide care
in a comforting setting with the benefit of an entire care team
working in coordination with the patient’s existing primary care
physician in a holistic approach.”
The agreement with Landmark is part of Humana’s longstanding
commitment to value-based care, which emphasizes:
- More personal time with health
professionals 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 linked to
the health outcomes of their patients rather than solely on the
quantity of services they provide (fee-for-service).
Humana has an extensive and growing value-based care presence.
As of December 31, 2017, Humana has 1.9 million individual Medicare
Advantage members and approximately 140,000 commercial members who
are cared for by 52,000 primary care physicians in more than 1,000
value-based relationships across 43 states and Puerto Rico. Humana
reached its 2017 calendar year goal of having 66 percent of
Humana’s 2.9 million total individual Medicare Advantage members
seeing primary care physicians in value-based payment
relationships. Humana’s total Medicare Advantage membership is
approximately 3.3 million members, which includes members
affiliated with providers in value-based and standard Medicare
Advantage settings. For more information,
