The new Aetna Medicare Advantage (MA) contract is measured across quality and cost performance, and participation means expanded access to high-value, low-cost care for MA patients across the network.

Since 2015, VHAN’s multidisciplinary team of pharmacy experts has offered members assistance in improving medication adherence.
The Cigna Collaborative Care initiative is designed for people covered by a Cigna commercial plan or Cigna-HealthSpring Medicare Advantage plan who receive care from clinicians and facilities participating in VHAN.
