AmericasHealth Plan inks risk-based contract with Anthem Blue Cross

Ventura, Calif.-based AmericasHealth Plan has entered into a risk-based contract with Indianapolis-based Anthem Blue Cross with the goal of improving care coordination and health outcomes for those covered under Anthem's Medicare Advantage plans in San Fernando Valley and Ventura County in California.

Through the collaboration, individuals covered by Anthem MediBlue Select, Anthem MediBlue Coordination Plus, Anthem MediBlue Plus or Anthem MediBlue Dual Advantage plans will have in-network access to the 13 hospitals and 5,500 physicians in  AmericasHealth Plan's network.

"This new collaboration is a major step forward in enhancing health care in the San Fernando Valley. We have one of the largest, comprehensive networks of health care providers in Southern California so we are able to give patients a one-stop health care experience, by coordinating between their primary care provider, care manager, specialists, and hospitals, if needed." Enrique De la Garza, MD, AHP's CEO, said.
