CVS Health's Accountable Care Organization and Long Island, N.Y.-based Catholic Health have partnered to expand value-based care access for Medicare beneficiaries within the group's physician network.
More than 40,000 Medicare patients in New York's Nassau and Suffolk counties will receive assistance with connecting to healthcare services, including home-based care, transportation support and services addressing social determinants of health, according to an April 19 news release from CVS.
The agreement is based on CMS' new direct contact model, which prioritizes health equity, cost minimization and improved outcome through value-based care, according to the release. The partnership is designed to expand Catholic Health's same-day care options, chronic condition treatment and increased payments to incentivize providers.
