Under the new collaboration agreement, Aetna will reward MPS and MPS physicians for quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction. Aetna will also provide funds for MPS’ care coordination personnel and health IT that will benefit Aetna members.
The agreement is intended to improve care coordination and quality of care for Aetna members while lowering healthcare costs.
“This new collaboration will provide MPS physicians with useful information that will support more patient outreach, better care coordination and a healthcare experience that is simpler and more effective,” said Martha Temple, president of Aetna’s New England operations, in the news release.
Nearly 15,000 Aetna members covered under fully insured and self-funded plans in Connecticut who have sought care from MPS providers in the past 24 months are included in the new program.
