Humana will give the ACO the ability to expand its services and add infrastructure to support performance in population- and value-based contracting, which should enhance its quality rating with CMS, the ACO said in a July 13 news release.
The ACO started as a joint venture between providers Main Line Health, based in Radnor Township, and Jefferson Health, based in Philadelphia, according to the news release. It supports more than 250,000 people in various government and commercial programs. The ACO is designed to provide personalized, proactive and affordable care for patients.
