--The Aetna Medicare Main Line Health Prime
Plan offers access to high-quality, coordinated care with a $12
monthly premium --
Aetna (NYSE: AET) today announced a new Aetna Medicare Advantage
plan with a $12 monthly premium that will give Medicare
beneficiaries access to coordinated care in Chester, Delaware and
Montgomery counties. The Aetna Medicare Main Line Health Prime Plan
is a Medicare Advantage HMO and the first co-branded Medicare plan
of its kind in the Delaware Valley that provides access to Main
Line Health’s network, their affiliated physicians and other health
care providers at in-network rates.
Aetna Medicare Advantage Prime members who receive care from
Main Line Health and affiliated providers will experience more
coordinated care and will benefit from the improved flow of
information to treating physicians, particularly those patients
with chronic or complex conditions. Aetna nurse case managers will
work with the providers to assist in care coordination, outreach
and follow-up services.
“We are pleased to offer Medicare beneficiaries a new, $12
monthly premium plan that emphasizes care coordination and provider
collaboration,” said Laurie Brubaker, market president for Aetna.
“Main Line Health doctors and other health care professionals will
work closely with us to help provide each member with a
personalized and coordinated health care experience at a $12
monthly premium, which is an incredible value.”
This agreement rewards providers for successful population
management, including improving health care outcomes while reducing
health care costs. This plan will be available during Medicare
Annual Enrollment period this fall for January 2016 effective dates
in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
Aetna has been working with health care systems to advance
value-based models of care for more than seven years. In
value-based models, doctors and hospitals are paid for helping keep
people healthy and for improving the health of those who have
chronic conditions in an evidence-based, cost-effective way. Aetna
is committed to increasing the number of claims payments going to
doctors and providers who practice value-based care to 50 percent
by 2018 and 75 percent by 2020.
