Arizona Care Network, a collaboration between San Francisco-based Dignity Health and Phoenix-based Abrazo Health, has formed an accountable care collaboration with Aetna.
The two will introduce Arizona Care Network Plus, an Aetna Whole HealthSM product, Jan. 1, 2014. The plans will be available for fully insured and self-insured employers in Maricopa County.
The accountable care collaboration includes a new payment model that will reward Arizona Care Network providers when they meet quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction measures.
Arizona Care Network is a Medicare Shared Savings Program participant and includes a network of more than 1,500 physicians and nine hospitals in the state.
