EMERYVILLE, Calif.,
Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Canopy Health and John Muir Health are announcing that
Canopy Health, in association with UnitedHealthcare, is the new HMO
insurance plan for John Muir Health's 10,000-plus employees and
their dependents in Canopy Health's covered service area, effective
January 1, 2019.
John Muir Health employees may now select UnitedHealthcare's
SignatureValue Advantage in partnership with Canopy Health, which
offers the same level of coverage as a traditional UnitedHealthcare
HMO at a lower premium. After enrolling in the plan, members may
then select a primary care physician from within Canopy Health's
alliance and benefit from coordinated care and simplified referrals
to any specialist within Canopy Health's robust Bay Area
network.
"We are extremely excited about expanding the relationship
between Canopy Health and John Muir Health. Together, we can offer
our members affordable care across an extensive continuum of
services," said Joel Criste, CEO of
Canopy Health. "Serving John Muir Health employees and dependents
allows us to provide more members with even greater access to some
of the most respected medical groups, care centers, and hospitals
in California."
In 2015, Canopy Health was launched as part of an affiliation
between UCSF Health and John Muir Health, aiming to provide a
high-quality continuum of care across the Bay
Area through partnerships with primary care providers, medical
groups, community hospitals, and top-tier academic medical
facilities. Canopy Health's growing accountable care network
provides members with access to nearly 5,000 doctors, 18 hospitals,
and dozens of care centers.
"Canopy Health is growing quickly, and we are pleased to offer
our employees and their family members access to high-quality care,
convenient to where they work or live," said Michael Moody, Senior Vice President of
Partnership Integration and Development at John Muir Health. "This
includes uninterrupted access to John Muir Health-affiliated
physicians and facilities that are part of the Canopy Health
network."
