Humana Announces New Agreement with Interwell Health That Expands Comprehensive Care for Members Living with Chronic Kidney Disease

Leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), and kidney care management company Interwell Health, have announced a new value-based care agreement in 13 states for most Humana Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO members living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as members across the country living with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230823360604/en/

Value-based care is a holistic, patient-centered healthcare model that focuses on a coordinated effort to help improve patient health outcomes and quality of life. With this new agreement, these members have access throughout their healthcare journey to Interwell’s comprehensive care and specialized resources, including 1,700 network nephrologists, renal care coordinators, and in-home virtual support from dietitians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and care coordinators. The 13 states where this value-based care program for CKD is now available are Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia.

“At Humana, we are committed to providing the highest levels of support and care for our members,” said Carl Daley, Humana Senior Vice President. “With millions of American adults currently living with chronic kidney disease, we continue to expand our programs, and this latest collaboration helps our members have access to value-based, coordinated chronic kidney disease care, as well as a vast amount of resources tailored to meet their specific needs throughout each stage of their healthcare journey.”

"This agreement is key to helping even more patients with kidney disease live their best lives,” said Dr. George Hart, Chief Medical Officer of Interwell Health. “We are proud of our close collaboration with Humana that is demonstrating a way to improve outcomes while lowering the total cost of care. Our success is due in large part to our ability to fully activate a passionate, multidisciplinary care team that works in partnership with our network of high performing nephrologists across the country.”
