Cleveland Clinic and Aetna are forming an accountable care organization.
Cleveland Clinic announced today a new multi-faceted collaboration with Aetna, a CVS Health Company (NYSE: CVS), to form an accountable care organization (ACO) model and offer new plans and programs featuring Cleveland Clinic providers. The collaboration includes the launch of a co-branded insurance plan, which could reduce health care costs for participating employers, an expanded relationship nationwide to provide members enrolled in Aetna commercial plans access to second opinions by Cleveland Clinic for certain conditions, and the deployment of Cleveland Clinic’s Cardiac Center of Excellence (COE) program to Aetna plan sponsors.
“Given the current economic climate, employers are looking for a cost-effective, high quality insurance plan that also provides access for their employees to coordinated care and advanced medical expertise,” said Steven C. Glass, chief financial officer, Cleveland Clinic. “Cleveland Clinic is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Aetna members, and we look forward to working together to deliver value-based health care to an expanded patient population.”
Angie Meoli, SVP, Network Strategy and Provider Experience, Aetna, said, “As part of CVS Health’s goal of becoming the most consumer-centric health company, we are facilitating access to high-quality health care where and when consumers need it. Cleveland Clinic is renowned for delivering exceptional health care, and our new collaboration will enable our members to receive the personalized and coordinated care they need to get and stay healthy.”
