The Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry announced a new collaboration with Aetna and VHAN to provide small businesses access to Aetna Funding Advantage self-funded health plans at a significant discount. The plan, known as TN Chambers Health, will leverage trusted VHAN providers across Tennessee to care for plan members.

For the second year in a row, VHAN achieved 100% performance for all Aetna contracted quality measure targets during the 2019 performance year. VHAN’s performance actually exceeded Aetna’s national standards in several measures.

VHAN Practices that earn NCQA’s PCMH recognition have made a commitment to continuous quality improvement and a patient-centered approach to care.

VHAN has announced a $7.5 million shared savings distribution that will be paid to provider members in late 2019. These incentives were achieved thanks to the diligent work of network providers, who have now driven savings for the fifth consecutive year.

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.

UnitedHealthcare launched an accountable care program with VHAN clinicians to improve quality, lower costs and enhance the coordination of care for those enrolled in UnitedHealthcare’s employer and individual health plans.

Aetna Whole Health-Tennessee, leverages the strengths of VHAN to give employers a value-based health care option that increases quality, improves efficiency and the patient experience, and controls costs.

VHAN and Humana entered into a value-based agreement that will benefit 4,000 Humana Medicare Advantage (MA) members in Middle Tennessee and Jackson, Tenn.
