Strengthening Women's Healthcare Access
Axia Women's Health has announced exciting new partnerships with Cigna Healthcare and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield to enhance access to high-quality, personalized healthcare for women. This move aims to enhance healthcare services across various regions while ensuring continuity for the patients Axia serves.
Commitment to Quality Care
With approximately 600,000 patients cared for each year, Axia's commitment extends to providing comprehensive women's health services. These partnerships highlight its role in the medical landscape, allowing patients to continue receiving quality care from trusted providers who understand their needs.
In addition to general obstetrics and gynecology, these agreements will improve access to specialized services like maternal-fetal medicine and in-house surgical procedures, ensuring patients have a complete spectrum of women’s healthcare options at their fingertips.
Collaborative Initiatives for Specialty Care
A notable aspect of the collaboration involves Axia's contribution to developing Horizon's new alternative payment model, which focuses on specialty care. This model emphasizes quality metrics in maternal health, including critical factors such as C-section rates and timely preventive screenings. By tying reimbursement to quality outcomes, Axia aims to elevate care standards further.
Chief Medical Officer Thomas Dardarian expressed optimism about these agreements, stating that they reflect the quality of service Axia brings to the community. With nearly half of the average C-section and preterm birth rates in the state, Axia sets a benchmark for quality outcomes and patient satisfaction.
The Future of Integrated Care
Axia Women's Health demonstrates a steadfast dedication to accessible and high-quality care. Not only are they expanding their network with payors like Cigna and Horizon, but they also participate in comprehensive government healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Dardarian emphasized the importance of building enduring relationships with patients, a cornerstone that Axia prides itself on. This dedication ensures that patients receive the support and care they need throughout their healthcare journey.
