Humana, athenahealth align for EHR services
Humana and athenahealth have formed an alliance connecting Humana's Primary Care Rewards Program with athenahealth's EHR service.
As part of the alliance, the Louisville, Ky.-based Humana will subsidize the implementation cost of athenahealth's EHR service, athenaClinicals, for physicians who are interested in and eligible for participation. Humana and athenahealth of Watertown, Mass., will jointly promote the program to approximately 20,000 family and internal medicine physicians who are part of Humana's national provider network, with Humana subsidizing the implementation cost for 100 physician practices projected to represent 1,000 physicians, including small practices, large multi-specialty groups and primary care physicians, according to the companies.
To achieve EHR integration, the program will utilize Humana's relationship with Availity, a health information network, to deliver information captured in the Availity CareProfile to athenahealth. Humana currently delivers health information and clinical messaging regarding its members through the Availity CareProfile; Availity will empower athenaClinicals with this information, the companies said.
