Under this agreement, which becomes effective January 1, 2022,
Houston-area members of Humana Medicare Advantage HMO plans will
have in-network access to care at more than 26 convenient
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic locations, as well as access to more than 500
providers in 55 medical specialties across the Houston-Galveston
region.
Members of Humana Medicare Advantage HMO plans will benefit from
Kelsey-Seybold’s high quality coordinated health services with
multiple specialties enhanced by advanced technologies, including
electronic medical record systems, which strive to eliminate
duplicate medical testing.
Additionally, this relationship with Kelsey-Seybold 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).
“Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, both well-known and respected in the
Greater Houston area, has a longtime history of providing quality
and coordinated health care to patients,” said Bill White, Texas
Medicare President, Humana. “This is a major development for Humana
in Houston, and we are grateful to be able to offer our Humana
Medicare Advantage HMO members an additional high quality health
care option as we continually work to help make it easier for our
members to achieve and maintain their best health.”
“Providing high quality, coordinated care for those living in
the Houston-Galveston region is what Kelsey-Seybold Clinic is known
for, and what we are most proud of,” said Kenneth Janis, M.H.A.,
M.B.A., Chief Operating Officer, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. “Expanding
access to care for Medicare eligible patients in this region is an
important step in improving the health and wellness of all Houston
and surrounding area residents and we look forward to welcoming
their members at our clinics.”
