The contract, now in effect, enables physicians in Aledade’s
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in North Carolina who
participate in Humana’s Medicare Advantage network to utilize tools
and resources from both organizations to help deliver coordinated,
quality care. This agreement builds on an earlier value-based
contract between Humana and Aledade in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia.
“Humana shares our strong commitment to helping independent
practices thrive in value-based care arrangements that reward them
for improving the quality of care and patient health outcomes,”
said Patrick Mobley, Executive Director of Aledade’s North Carolina
ACOs. “Together, we are empowering North Carolina physicians with
support to offer a more personalized, coordinated primary care
experience for the patient.”
Aledade partners with independent primary care practices to
build and lead ACOs that participate in a variety of value-based
care arrangements. These ACOs focus on delivering preventive care,
reducing unnecessary or repetitive care, and better coordinating
patient care. Aledade supports physicians with a comprehensive
range of capabilities that includes data analytics; care management
and patient outreach tools; regulatory expertise; and local,
hands-on support.
“Humana is pleased to increase access to coordinated care for
our North Carolina Medicare Advantage members through this expanded
collaboration with Aledade,” said Neil Steffens, Humana Regional
President for Medicare in North Carolina. “We’re excited to support
these physician practices through shared knowledge and expertise,
and strengthen our ability to improve health outcomes and the
patient experience.”
The agreement with Aledade 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;
- 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 based solely on the quantity of services
they provide (fee-for-service).
Humana has an extensive and growing value-based care presence.
As of Dec. 31, 2019, Humana has more than 2.4 million individual
Medicare Advantage members and approximately 115,000 commercial
members who are cared for by approximately 62,000 primary care
physicians in more than 1,000 value-based relationships across 43
states and Puerto Rico. As of January, 2020, Humana’s total
Medicare Advantage membership is approximately 4.4 million members,
which includes members affiliated with providers in value-based and
standard Medicare Advantage settings. For more information, visit
