Humana has targeted several new markets to grow its “senior-focused primary care” network this year, the insurer said Tuesday.
Humana has 233 “owned, joint venture and alliance clinics” including its Conviva brand centers in Florida and Texas and its Partners in Primary Care Clinics. These centers currently serve 8% of Humana’s individual Medicare Advantage enrollees in 30 markets.
But the success of value-based care approach has convinced Humana to target several new markets including Charleston, S.C, Houston and Memphis, Tenn., for expansion, the health insurance giant said Tuesday. The primary care network is key to improving health outcomes and keeping costs in check for the 3.9 million seniors in Humana’s Medicare Advantage plans.
