Think Nebraska owns part of Think Aksarben, which operates a 16-physician clinic in Omaha. The physicians own 49 percent of Think Aksarben.
BCBSN has invested nearly $37 million in Think Nebraska since 2013, the report states. The payer said while it is not a part of the clinic’s day-to-day operations, it supports Think Nebraska’s move to curb medical costs.
The primary care clinic opened in July 2015.
