Humana Medicare Advantage members living with chronic kidney

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, and members in this program
now have access throughout their healthcare journey to Interwell’s
comprehensive care and specialized resources, including 2,000
network nephrologists, renal care coordinators, and in-home virtual
support from dietitians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and
care coordinators.
“Tens of millions of American adults currently live with chronic
kidney disease,” said Caraline Coats, Florida Medicare President at
Humana. “As the numbers continue to grow, so is the need to provide
our members living with chronic and end-stage kidney disease with
access to value-based, coordinated care. We are grateful to be able
to bring this program to Florida.”
Humana recently released an issue brief documenting its success
in value-based partnerships for kidney care, including a 5%
reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions in 2023. That issue
brief highlighted the story of Mary Johnson who received a
successful pre-emptive kidney transplant off the waiting list after
receiving support from the Interwell care team.
"We are proud of this opportunity to serve even more Humana
members with kidney disease and help them to live their best
lives,” said Dr. George Hart, Chief Medical Officer of Interwell
Health. “We know we can make a difference when patients receive
support from a dedicated care team built to support their unique
needs, while also benefiting from a highly engaged provider network
committed to value-based care. Together we are improving patient
outcomes.”
