PA Clinical Network, a Harrisburg-based organization consisting of independent physicians, signed a value-based contract with Geisinger Health Plan. Geisinger is the fifth a regional health insurer to partner with PA Clinical Network and its 150 independent physicians, the two groups announced on Tuesday.
As part of the new partnership, members of Geisinger will see lower costs when going to physicians with the network, whose physicians receive incentives based on the quality of their services.
“The providers of the PA Clinical Network are committed to the continued wellbeing of their patients,” said Dr. Jaan Sidorov, president and CEO of the PA Clinical Network. “Geisinger Health Plan shares our interest in measurable improvements in quality with lower costs and a better member experience supported by a high performing network.”
The Montour County-based Geisinger Health Plan is a provider network of more than 30,000 primary care and specialty physicians, 120 hospitals and 132 urgent and convenient care locations.
“We are pleased to be working with this physician-led network to accelerate the adoption of value-based care across our network,” said Dr. John Bulger, Chief Medical Officer of Geisinger Health Plan.
The health plan joins Aetna, Capital Blue Cross, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and Gateway Health in signing contracts with PA Clinical Network this year.
