Humana, Strive Partner on Value-Based Kidney Care

Humana and Strive Health announced a partnership to provide value-based kidney care to more Medicare Advantage plan members. The new agreement will bring Strive’s kidney care model to Humana Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plan members in five states who are living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease.

Plan members in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and northwest North Carolina will join those in Indiana and Kentucky who are already receiving benefits of Strive’s value-based kidney care, such as:

• Medication management
• Care management
• Dialysis access planning
• Transplant coordination
• Social services

“Humana is committed to providing our members with evidence-based, multispecialty kidney care,” said Jim Stodola, Humana’s vice president of trend management. “An estimated 37 million Americans live with [CKD], and with that number continuing to grow, our priority is to continue to strengthen access to the highest levels of kidney care for our members.”
