The contract applies to the existing Select Blue population — the Blue Cross select-tier health insurance plan available in the Omaha area — who already receive care from a Nebraska Health Network affiliated and aligned physician.

The Nebraska Health Network is a local, physician-led ACO formed in 2010 that includes Nebraska Medicine, Methodist Health System and their affiliated physicians and hospitals. The ACO includes over 1,300 providers, over 300 primary care physicians and six acute care hospitals.
