Humana’s Medicare Advantage HMO plan members in Honolulu County
will have in-network access to Hawaii Senior Medical Group’s
physicians starting Jan. 1, 2020. This agreement continues to build
on the growing national relationship between Humana and Seoul
Medical Group (SMG), which includes California, Washington, Georgia
and New Jersey. Hawaii Senior Medical Group is the local division
of SMG serving Honolulu with over 95 community primary care
physicians.
The value-based agreement with Hawaii Senior Medical Group is in
keeping with 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;
- 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).
Hawaii SMG offers:
- Doctors who specialize in caring for people with Medicare.
- Access and coordination with specialists.
- Professional care teams that listen.
- Walk-in appointments.
- Patient education.
Under this new agreement, Hawaii Senior Medical Group’s
physicians also will benefit by having access to tools and
resources offered by Humana, which may help maximize the time
physicians spend with their patients covered by Humana Medicare
Advantage.
“Hawaii Senior Medical Group is proud and privileged to partner
with Humana, a leading health plan in Hawaii,” said Min Young Cha,
M.D., CEO and President of Hawaii Senior Medical Group. “SMG is
making a strong footprint in Hawaii by serving our SMG Medicare
patients and the senior community.”
“By working together with Hawaii Senior Medical Group, we are
able to provide our Hawaii Medicare Advantage members additional
access to care that serves the whole person,” said Rick Beavin,
Hawaii Medicare President for Humana. “Value-based care is key to
enhancing both the patient experience and patient outcomes. It
allows us to partner with health care providers like Hawaii Senior
Medical Group to ensure our members are receiving personalized care
for their individual needs.”
Humana has an extensive and growing value-based care presence.
As of Sept. 30, 2019, Humana has more than 2.3 million individual
Medicare Advantage members and approximately 115,000 commercial
members who are cared for by more than 60,000 primary care
physicians in more than 1,000 value-based relationships across 43
states and Puerto Rico. Humana’s total Medicare Advantage
membership is more than four million members, which includes
members affiliated with providers in value-based and standard
Medicare Advantage settings. For more information, visit
