Under the contract, Humana members with commercial plans will continue to have in-network access to Tenet’s hospitals, outpatient centers and physicians. In addition, patients in five cities who are enrolled in Humana’s health insurance exchange plans will gain in-network access to Tenet’s facilities. The five cities are: Atlanta; Birmingham, Ala.; Houston; Memphis, Tenn.; and San Antonio, according to a news release.
Humana and Tenet are also launching an ACO for Humana’s Medicare Advantage members in Atlanta. The organizations seek to enhance the quality of care for this population by improving care coordination.
“We are committed to providing our members with more choices for better healthcare, and this expanded agreement does just that,” said Paul Davis, vice president of national contracting for Humana, in the release.
