Independence Blue Cross (Independence) has announced that it will renew its long-term value-based care contract with Jefferson Health.

The provider will participate in Independence’s Total Value of Care value-based care program starting on January 1, 2023.

Independence, a payer in southeastern Pennsylvania, has already been in a value-based care partnership with the non-profit health system and teaching hospital since 2017. However, this renewal will involve some changes to that relationship. For example, the contract now includes Einstein Health Network and Jefferson Health New Jersey.

The payer and provider indicated that one of the partnership’s goals was integrating physical and behavioral healthcare. Additionally, the companies plan to target maternal health and cardiovascular health to boost patient outcomes in these areas with high care disparities.
