Harrisburg, Pa.-based Capital BlueCross and Lancaster (Pa.) General Health launched an accountable care arrangement to improve the quality of patient care and health outcomes for customers in central Pennsylvania.
The arrangement will financially reward healthcare providers for improving quality of care and patient outcomes. In-network patients will have enhanced access to care and be proactively reminded to engage in preventative and chronic care services.
"Our accountable care arrangements have had tremendous success and have proven to be beneficial for patients and their overall health," said Jennifer Chambers, MD, Capital BlueCross senior vice president and CMO. "With Lancaster General Health's strong commitment to patient care, our customers will certainly benefit as we work together for improved health outcomes."
