Oak Street Health Announces Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield as Its First Collaborator in Ohio for Value-Based Care Delivery

PR Web

CLEVELAND (PRWEB) September 20, 2018

Oak Street Health, a network of primary care centers providing a new model of value-based primary care to Medicare patients, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) have entered into an innovative value-based network agreement in Cleveland. Effective today, consumers enrolled in Anthem Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans in Cleveland will have access to Oak Street Health's first three patient care centers in the area that focus on well care, which keeps consumers happy, healthy and out of the hospital.

"As we continue to grow our presence in Cleveland, we want to ensure we provide local Anthem Medicare Advantage consumers the highest quality of care possible," said Brian Clem, President of Oak Street Health Indiana and Ohio. "We look forward to continuing our relationship with Anthem and rebuilding healthcare the way it should be in Cleveland."

Oak Street Health's community-based care model focuses on the overall value of healthcare for its patients. Its facilities feature more comprehensive services than a traditional doctor's office, with 24-hour access to a physician, flexible scheduling, more face time with doctors, transportation to office visits, community health and wellness events, state-of-the-art technology and a dedicated care team to coordinate all health needs. This proven strategy has reduced Medicare hospitalizations in other Oak Street facilities by more than 40 percent.

"This new agreement is a testament to Oak Street Health and Anthem's mission to improve the health and well-being of our Medicare consumers," said David McNichols, President of Anthem's Medicare Central Region. "Anthem is committed to delivering a healthcare experience that makes it easier for consumers to lead healthier lives. By adding Oak Street Health's care center to our network in the Cleveland area, we're enhancing our ability to give our consumers comprehensive primary care services close to their communities."

Oak Street Health's patient care centers are scheduled to open in September through the end of 2018. Centers are located at:

  • Glenville: 10553 St Clair Ave. Cleveland, OH 44108
  • West Boulevard: 10688 Lorain Ave, Cleveland, OH 44111
  • Lee-Harvard: 4071 Lee Road Cleveland, OH 44128
