New agreement helps ensure Humana Medicare
Advantage members have access to Hutchinson Clinic’s regionally
recognized care teams
Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), a leading health and wellness company,
has expanded its value-based care agreement with Hutchinson Clinic,
a physician specialty group with a 60-year legacy of focusing on
high-quality outcomes for individuals in Hutchinson, Cheney,
McPherson and surrounding areas. The new agreement helps ensure
that Humana Medicare Advantage members will continue to have
in-network access to Hutchinson Clinic’s results-driven care teams
at each of its more than 14 locations in 2022.
“We’re extending our Medicare Advantage relationship with
Hutchinson Clinic because the comprehensive and coordinated care
offered by this organization should perform well in the value-based
care environment,” said Dr. Elizabeth Peterson, Regional Vice
President of Health Services for Humana. “Value-based care models
have been shown to increase preventive screenings, reduce hospital
admissions and lower the cost of care. Our mission is to help
people achieve lifelong well-being, and we are confident that
working closely with Hutchinson Clinic will help us to carry out
that mission in central Kansas.”
“Success in value-based care comes down to teamwork, and for
more than 60 years, Hutchinson Clinic has been putting our
community’s health first by taking a team-based approach to
providing care,” said Mike Heck, CEO of Hutchinson Clinic. “Our
more than 100 physicians and providers offer comprehensive care
across 37 departments including Primary Care, Oncology, Neurology
and even Walk-in Care. Each of those providers and departments is
connected by a single electronic medical record and coordinated
support teams that allow us to surround our patients with a
purposeful, value-driven care plan. Our partnership with Humana
makes our team stronger and allows us to put even more patients’
health first.”
