Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) and Hartford HealthCare (HHC) have launched a groundbreaking new partnership that signals a substantial move toward value-based healthcare programs and policies. As part of the agreement, the two institutions pledge to form a strong working relationship aimed at reducing costs and utilization by putting a greater emphasis on primary and preventative care. The new agreement also includes a strategy for community health outreach to ensure that people who are uninsured have access to coverage through current programs like Covered Connecticut or Access Health CT, the state’s health insurance exchange.
