That\u2019s why we\u2019ve answered your frequently asked questions about value-based care and how it could help you on your health journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"faq_controls\"><div id=\"expand-faq\">Expand All<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq_wrapper\"><div class=\"faq_question\">(English) Why does primary care matter?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) Your primary care provider (PCP) is your main doctor for checkups, screenings and non-emergency care, focusing on your whole health. As you age or develop chronic conditions, your value-based care PCP coordinates with specialists to keep your healthcare personal and proactive. At Humana, we believe this relationship is key to positive health outcomes.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq_wrapper\"><div class=\"faq_question\">(English) I already have a specialist. Why should I get a PCP too?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) It\u2019s great to have a specialist you trust, but their focus is narrow. A PCP takes a holistic view of your whole health, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of conditions. The best part? Your PCP and specialists work together to support your best health.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq_wrapper\"><div class=\"faq_question\">(English) I\u2019ve been going to the same doctor for years. Why should I consider a new doctor as I get older?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) Just as kids see pediatricians, older adults benefit from doctors like geriatricians, who specialize in care for aging bodies. They focus on your overall well-being, helping manage chronic conditions, medications and health goals.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq_wrapper\"><div class=\"faq_question\">(English) What is value-based care and how could it help me?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) Value-based care focuses on quality over quantity, paying doctors for patient outcomes rather than the number of visits or procedures to achieve:<sup>1<\/sup>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Better individual care<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Better population health<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lower costs over the long term<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nHumana\u2019s Value-based Care Report shows members in these arrangements had the following compared to those in other plans:<sup>2<\/sup>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Better medication adherence<\/li>\r\n \t<li>More screenings<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fewer hospital stays<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lower ER visits<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWith value-based care, your well-being comes first through a proactive, team-based approach that could lead to better health at a lower cost.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq_wrapper\"><div class=\"faq_question\">(English) How can I become a patient with a value-based care provider?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) Becoming a Humana Medicare Advantage member is a simple way to gain access to value-based care providers in your area.\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Reach out to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healththatcares.com\/get-in-touch\/\">licensed Humana Medicare sales agent<\/a>.

Why should I consider a Medicare Advantage plan?<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"faq_answer\">(English) Original Medicare covers hospital and preventive care but has gaps in dental, vision, hearing, and drug coverage\u2014and no cap on out-of-pocket costs.\r\n\r\nA Humana Medicare Advantage plan can fill those gaps, offering potential extra benefits like prescription drugs, dental, vision, hearing, fitness, and\/or wellness support, plus access to a growing value-based care network. Benefits vary by plan and location.\r\n\r\nMany Medicare Advantage plans offer low or $0 premiums to stay competitive. You\u2019ll still pay your Part B premium.
