Value-based care is a holistic, patient-centered healthcare
model that focuses on a coordinated effort to help improve patient
health outcomes and quality of life. With this agreement, members
with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease in
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan and northwest North Carolina
now have access to Strive’s value-based kidney care. Strive’s
interdisciplinary clinical care team serves as an extension of a
member’s physician and provides whole-person care, including
medication management and care management, dialysis access
planning, transplant coordination and social services.
“Humana is committed to providing our members with
evidence-based, multi-specialty kidney care,” said Jim Stodola,
Humana Vice President of Trend Management. “An estimated 37 million
Americans live with chronic kidney disease, and with that number
continuing to grow, our priority is to continue to strengthen
access to the highest levels of kidney care for our members.”
“Humana has a proven track record of providing innovative care
delivery models,” said Will Stokes, Co-Founder and Chief Growth
Officer of Strive Health. “Our expanded partnership will allow us
to serve thousands of patients through a value-based approach to
kidney care and further our mission to deliver compassionate kidney
care through data-driven insights, high-touch care and
prevention.”
The new value-based care agreement builds on an existing Humana
and Strive relationship, which began in Indiana and Kentucky in
2020.
