The agreement maintains access for the more than 4 million Empire members who can choose Northwell for their healthcare, according to an Aug. 18 Empire news release.   

Empire is now a participating provider in Northwell’s House Calls programs, which provides home-based care for people living with chronic conditions who have difficulty getting to a physician’s office.

The agreement also has several new value-based arrangements, with shared incentives to jointly improve the quality of care for Empire’s members in the company’s commercial, Medicaid and Medicare plans, according to the news release. 

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
