Humana is continuing its value-based relationship with Kansas-based Hutchinson Clinic, the payer announced Nov. 22.
The agreement reups the parties' relationships in 2022 for Humana's Medicare Advantage members across all 14 of Hutchinson Clinic's locations.
"We're extending our Medicare Advantage relationship with Hutchinson Clinic because the comprehensive and coordinated care offered by this organization should perform well in the value-based care environment," said Elizabeth Peterson, MD, regional vice president of health services for Humana. "Value-based care models have been shown to increase preventive screenings, reduce hospital admissions and lower the cost of care. Our mission is to help people achieve lifelong well-being, and we are confident that working closely with Hutchinson Clinic will help us to carry out that mission in central Kansas."
