BCBS of Kansas’ extension to Aledade Kansas members will assist rural physicians, as the ACO serves practices in rural parts of the state.
“Moving into the value-based role is really a direction most, if not all providers are going to have to take,” said Erin Patrick, ACO executive director for Aledade Kansas. “Over the past nine months, we’ve worked diligently under a variety of initiatives. We’ve really laid that groundwork, and now it’s time to start building a house.”
Aledade Kansas is looking to add three practices to its more than 200-practice model next year.
