Cigna partners with Weill Cornell to form ACO
Cigna and the Weill Cornell Physician Organization, an 850-member group practice in New York City, are partnering to create a collaborative accountable care organization (ACO) initiative, which will adopt a healthcare delivery model similar to the ones demonstrated by accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes.
Individuals who are covered by the Bloomfield, Conn.-based insurer Cigna and also receive care from one of Weill Cornell’s 71 primary care providers will be eligible for the initiative’s healthcare programs, which will include patient care coordinators and lifestyle management courses to encourage healthy living.
Cigna is currently engaged in 17 collaborative care initiatives in 15 states.
