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.
