Humana is adding this new primary care practice location to its
network in an effort to improve access to high quality care and
helping to increase patients’ ability to manage their own care
which may improve their health and well-being. The new practice
operated by JSA Medical Group accepts certain Medicare Advantage
plans administered by Humana and does not accept Medicare Advantage
plans administered by other carriers. The new practice will also
accept traditional Medicare.
The new JSA Medical Group primary care practice is located at
2415 University Pkwy., Building 3, Ste. 112 in Sarasota. The
practice is currently accepting appointments and has begun to see
patients.
Humana’s value-based relationships with providers, like JSA
Medical Group, are aimed at transforming health care by offering
proactive, patient-focused care for Medicare beneficiaries. Humana
and JSA Medical Group strive to meet monthly to review member cases
and issues. This helps ensure that members aren’t simply treated
for what ails them, but are also provided with a more comprehensive
team working on a plan to keep them on the path to their best
health.
“We are excited to partner with Humana to increase health care
options for Medicare beneficiaries in Florida,” said Carol Pittman,
M.D., Medical Director at JSA Medical Group. “As we continue to
work together, it’s clear that our organizations are both dedicated
and committed to providing comprehensive, patient-focused
care.”
JSA Medical Group offers a unique coordinated care approach, in
which primary care providers, specialists and professional staff
work as a coordinated team to help manage all aspects of patient’s
medical care and overall health. This includes a strong focus on
prevention and individualized care.
As a result, the primary care practice offers more services to
patients than a traditional doctor’s office, including:
- A health coach assigned to each member
to help guide them through the complex health care system.
- A care team that spends as much
quality, face-to-face time with members as needed to discuss all of
the issues that can affect their health.
- The convenience of being able to walk
in to one of these centers without a scheduled appointment and
often be seen the same day.
Other benefits that members may experience include:
- A waiting room designed for the comfort
of patients.
- Staff familiarity with the member’s
Medicare Advantage insurance, which simplifies billing
issues/questions.
- An activity center that is available at
no cost and is open to the community. The activity center will
offer seminars and other activities each week that tie directly to
JSA Medical Group’s focus on preventative care and improving
patient’s overall wellness.
Last year, JSA Medical Group and Humana teamed up to offer
similar, dedicated care for Humana Medicare beneficiaries in
Florida. Humana Medicare Advantage members now have dedicated
access to three JSA Medical Group practices in Florida – the new
location in Sarasota and two in Bradenton.
“As our health care needs change, it’s important for Medicare
beneficiaries to find health care that can consistently meet those
needs. That’s why we are excited to expand the relationship with
JSA Medical Group and be available to more of our Florida members
in order to help them get and stay healthy,” said Deb Galloway,
Central Florida Medicare President for Humana. “Humana has a solid
Medicare history, so we bring strong capabilities to the
transformational health care relationship with JSA Medical Group.
Together, we hope to make a difference for our members.”
In 2015, on average, Humana Medicare Advantage members served by
physicians under value-based care arrangements experienced 6
percent fewer ER visits; higher screening rates, including those
for colorectal cancer (+8 percent) and breast cancer (+6 percent);
and healthier outcomes compared to members who were treated by
physicians with standard Medicare Advantage reimbursement
arrangements.
As of Sept. 30, 2016, Humana has 1.8 million individual Medicare
Advantage members and 200,000 commercial members who are cared for
by 49,600 primary care providers, in more than 900 value-based
relationships across 43 states and Puerto Rico.
As of Sept. 30, 2016, approximately 63 percent of Humana
individual Medicare Advantage members are in value-based payment
relationships. Humana’s goal is to have 75 percent of individual
Medicare Advantage members in value-based payment models by the end
of 2017. For more information, visit humana.com/accountable-care or
