As part of a value-based relationship between Vancouver Clinic
and Humana, Evergreen Place at 709 NE 136th Avenue in Vancouver,
will open on November 20. Operated by Vancouver Clinic, Evergreen
Place will accept all Humana Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans
offered in Washington, as well as a Humana Dual Eligible Special
Needs Plan for certain patients qualifying for both Medicare and
Medicaid.
This is the second neighborhood clinic to open as part of the
value-based relationship. The first clinic, Vancouver Plaza at 7809
NE Vancouver Plaza Drive in Vancouver, opened in January 2019. Both
Evergreen Place and Vancouver Plaza are accepting new patients.
The agreement with Vancouver Clinic 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 based solely on the quantity of services
they provide (fee-for-service).
“We’ve seen positive patient outcomes from the first
neighborhood clinic and its unique model of care,” said Mark
Mantei, Vancouver Clinic CEO. “The neighborhood clinics offer
integrated care teams that include doctors, nurses, health coaches,
nutritionists, medication management, and social services resources
to help guide patients through the complex health system and ensure
their care addresses the whole person.”
“We are grateful for this additional opportunity to support our
Medicare Advantage members in Clark County,” said Jesse Gamez,
Intermountain President for Humana. “Humana and Vancouver Clinic
share a strong commitment to expanding access to value-based care
with a focus on providing services that are tailored to meeting the
specific needs of our members as they age.”
Humana has an extensive and growing value-based care presence.
As of Sept. 30, 2020, Humana has more than 2.7 million individual
Medicare Advantage and commercial members who are cared for by
67,000 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 4.5 million members,
which includes members affiliated with providers in value-based and
standard Medicare Advantage settings.
