A Local Team-Based Approach Aligning Quality Care and Affordable Coverage
Patients benefit when providers and health plans share resources and work together. Sutter Health | Aetna provides a unique opportunity to differentiate the member experience by:
- Combining health care and health plan experience with the goal to give members access to services quickly and efficiently.
- Integrating the continuum of care delivery — from wellness to disease management, care coordination, and access.
- Enhancing the customer experience by offering an online member website and integrating capabilities to help solve patient/member issues quickly.
By equally sharing ownership and accountability, Sutter Health and Aetna aim to integrate the continuum of care delivery, from wellness to disease management, care coordination, and access. This collaboration will bring together Sutter Health’s network of nationally recognized, high-quality doctors and hospitals with Aetna’s leading health plan expertise, cutting-edge data, analytics and health information technology, and shared care management capabilities.
With each organization contributing its strengths, Sutter Health | Aetna will have the best of both worlds: member and patient services combined to provide one cost-effective, integrated health plan and care management solution.
