Known as value-based care, the model is designed to help people
achieve their best health by emphasizing:
- More face time with physicians 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); and
- Leveraging technologies, such as data
analytics, that connect physicians and help them work as a team to
coordinate care around the patient.
Humana’s Medicare Advantage plan members will now have
in-network access to Boulder Medical Center physicians; Humana’s
Commercial plan members previously had in-network access to this
provider group. In addition to offering new patient services, the
collaboration on the Medicare side will focus on improving specific
health metrics in Colorado that are associated with value-based
care.
Under this new agreement, Boulder Medical Center’s physicians
will also benefit by having new tools, data and access to care
support to maximize time spent with their patients covered by
Humana Medicare Advantage. More details on Humana’s approach to
value-based care, patient outcomes achieved and how physicians can
benefit can be seen in this video.
Boulder Medical Center is a large private multispecialty group
with 80 providers and four locations in Colorado – two in Boulder,
one in Louisville, and one in Longmont. In addition to primary
care, the center has more than a dozen specialties, including
cardiology, gastroenterology, dermatology, orthopedics and
rheumatology.
“Our Medicare Advantage relationship with Humana represents an
opportunity for Boulder Medical Center to continue its journey
towards the highest quality of care, affordability and service to
Medicare patients of Boulder County and the surrounding area. We
anticipate this alignment will provide a tremendous means for us to
collaborate to provide the best possible patient care,” said
Patrick Menzies, Boulder Medical Center Chief Executive
Officer.
“We are excited to team up with Boulder Medical Center (BMC) and
bring value-based care to our Medicare Advantage members in Boulder
County,” said Mark Iorio, Central West Region President for
Humana’s Senior Products. “Our members will greatly benefit from
BMC’s integrated multispecialty care model and BMC’s physicians
will benefit from Humana’s reporting tools and analytics. As a
result, our members will receive high-quality care that will help
them start with healthy.”
As of June 30, 2017, Humana has 1.8 million individual Medicare
Advantage members and 142,000 commercial members who are cared for
by 50,700 primary care providers, in more than 900 value-based
