The ACO will provide coordinated care to its patients and focus on improving health outcomes and patient satisfaction while cutting costs, according to a news release.
The accountable care agreement includes value-based incentives for physicians. The incentives are tied to physician performance and their ability to meet quality measures.
“This accountable care partnership with UC San Diego Health System is a natural fit for Humana, as we already share a focus on integrated health and patient-centered care,” said Jim Brown, president of Humana’s Senior Products in California, in the release.
