Humana Medicare Advantage members who qualify for the program
will now have access to a team of Evergreen professionals who work
together in partnership with their nephrologist to provide
individualized, whole-person care. Evergreen has nephrology
practice partnerships in the following states: Alabama, California,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Texas, and Virginia.
“I’m excited about this innovative new program that builds upon
a patient’s existing relationship with their nephrologist to help
improve both their quality of care and their quality of life,” said
Todd DeYoung, Associate Vice President of Specialty and Value-based
Partnerships at Humana. “At Humana, we take pride in providing our
members with an opportunity to participate in value-based programs,
and with more than one in seven Americans living with chronic
kidney disease and that number continuing to grow, our priority is
to continue to expand access to high quality, patient-friendly
kidney care programs.”
“We could not be more excited to collaborate with an innovative
leader in value-based care like Humana,” said Tim Pflederer, MD,
Chief Medical Officer at Evergreen Nephrology. “People living with
kidney disease are often poorly served by the status quo in
fee-for-service medicine. Evergreen and our partner nephrologists
are eager and ready to bring comprehensive services to Humana
members to give them more healthy days at home.”
Value-based care incentivizes more holistic and efficient
patient-centered care in an effort to help improve health outcomes
and quality of life. You can learn more about Humana’s commitment
