How Payer-Provider Relationship Enables Value-Based Care Success

The payer-provider relationship is historically an adversarial one, but emerging care delivery and payment models require the two groups to let down their guards to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs

At the 4th Annual Value-Based Care Summit in Boston, Humana Vice President Worthe Holt, MD, and Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians Corporate Medical Director Larry Blosser, MD, spoke at length about the power of effective payer-provider collaboration.

Humana and Central Ohio Primary Care Physicians are changing that dynamic to deliver the best possible care to patients by implementing a risk-based value-based care model for Medicare Advantage members that has led to improved quality and lower costs. What led to this success? In part, the quality of the partnership between payers and providers.
