13 JV health plans formed since 2013

Eleven joint venture health plans have been formed between provider systems and health plans since 2013, according to Health Affairs, with two others reported by Becker's Hospital Review but not featured on the list.

Health Affairs' analysis only comprises health maintenance organizations or health insurance companies, and not partnerships under which a provider and health insurer offer policies together, but only the insurer manages risk.

Here are the 13 JV health plans formed since 2013.
