The ACO, called NewHealth Collaborative, will provide Humana Medicare Advantage beneficiaries with coordinated care led by a primary care physician. The value-based agreement puts a focus on preventive care in addition to current treatments by leveraging predictive analytics, chronic disease management and wellness programs.

NewHealth Collaborative is the only Ohio-based ACO yet to achieve savings under the Medicare Shared Savings Program, according to a statement.
