Aetna Launches Scheme for Better Patient Care Amenities
Read MoreHide Full Article
Aetna Inc. has introduced the regional Aetna Whole Health - Southern California plan with which, the company will be serving its top brass with employees posted in San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County and at select portions of the Inland Empire.
This new regional health care solution comprises the networks of four existing accountable care tie-ups, namely Aetna Whole Health - Sharp in San Diego; Aetna Whole Health - MemorialCare in Orange County and southern Los Angeles County; Aetna Whole Health - PrimeCare Physicians Plans in the Inland Empire and Aetna Whole Health - Providence Health & Services in Los Angeles County for refining access, quality as well as affordability to Aetna customers and members.
Local employers would be able to avail of these four Aetna Whole Health plans individually without having to hold business on a wider geography. The members will be able to approach around 1400 primary care doctors, 8300 specialists, 51 hospitals and 122 urgent care facilities across five counties. The plan is now reachable to self-insured employers and will be available to fully insured employers pending regulatory approval.
The company is extremely optimistic about this useful collaboration with Sharp, MemorialCare, PrimeCare and Providence, which looks promising to assemble the right doctors, facilities and technology under one roof, thereby providing patients with better health outcomes and enrich the member experience. The approach would be much more personalized and cost-effective to employees, who resort to health service providers in the selected networks.
Meanwhile, the region’s leader in providing high-quality patient care — MemorialCare — is set to offer tailored programs to employers and patients. With this agreement, patients with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart failures are expected to get optimized care and there will be a significant reduction in avoidable hospital readmission rates and emergency room visits. Also, PrimeCare, Providence Health & Services and Sharp HealthCare hope to provide high-quality, cost-effective care to patients.
Aetna is constantly collaborating with countrywide health care organizations for development of products and services supporting patient-centered services. Currently, more than 7 million Aetna members receive the benefits of care from doctors committed to value-based approach across the nation.
