Humana’s Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plan members in Atoka,
Bryan, Canadian, Carter, Choctaw, Cleveland, Coal, Comanche,
Garvin, Grady, Jefferson, Johnston, Kingfisher, Lincoln, Logan,
Love, McClain, Murray, Oklahoma, Payne, Pontotoc, Pottawatomie, and
Stephens counties will have in-network access to Epione’s
physicians and facilities throughout Oklahoma City and southern
Oklahoma.
The value-based agreement with Epione is in keeping with
Humana’s longstanding commitment to value-based care, which
emphasizes:
- 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).
Epione offers a model for care in Oklahoma City and southern
Oklahoma that places primary care physicians at the center of
healthcare, and supports their operational, technology and practice
management needs. In this way, Epione frees primary care physicians
to place additional focus on the care of patients. Epione’s model,
which is fully integrated with a robust network of like-minded
hospitals and ancillary and specialty providers, offers patients a
seamless care experience designed to improve their overall health
and quality of life.
Under this new agreement, Humana Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO
plan patients will benefit from this relationship as the support
offered by Humana enables Epione’s doctors to focus on patient
care.
“Epione Health of Oklahoma is excited to partner with Humana, a
respected organization that shares our commitment to supporting the
power of independent physicians to provide higher quality,
coordinated care that not only improves patient health outcomes but
lowers overall health costs,” said Dr. Deepak Jaiswal, Chairman of
the Board & Chief Medical Officer, Epione Health. “We are proud
to extend our care programs to Humana Medicare Advantage members
driving exceptional value based care to patients.” He added, “This
relationship will go a long way in strengthening both
organizations’ ability to be successful in value-based care
contracts.”
“We are looking forward to offering our Oklahoma City and
southern Oklahoma Medicare Advantage members additional access to
value-based care through our relationship with Epione Health of
Oklahoma, LLC,” said Jeremy Gaskill, Central Region President for
Humana. “By working together with Epione, we are able to offer our
Humana Medicare Advantage members access to quality care with the
goal of improving their health and well-being.”
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.
