The program will include any individual covered by a Cigna health plan who receives care from one of Boice-Willis Clinic’s 30 primary care physicians, 27 specialists or 5 health educators.

As part of the CAC initiative, registered nurses will serve as care coordinators, helping patients schedule appointments and providing health education. Cigna will provide patient-specific data to Boice-Willis Clinic to enhance care coordination.

Providers in the program can be rewarded in a pay-for-value reimbursement model if they meet certain quality and cost targets.

This CAC initiative, along with others Cigna launched Oct. 1, bring the payer’s total number of CAC initiatives to 75.
