The new accountable care organization helps Aetna transition more fee-for-service reimbursement to value-based payment, while helping Mount Sinai achieve its population health management goals.
“As we’ve said before, our focus remains on keeping New Yorkers out of the hospital by doing everything possible to ensure access to high-quality, cost-effective healthcare services, and we are proud to work with Aetna on these efforts,” Niyum Gandhi, chief population health officer for the Mount Sinai Health System, said in a press release.
With this arrangement, Aetna now has more than 200,000 New Yorkers covered in value-based collaborative arrangements and more than 5.8 million members nationwide.
