Our Commitment to You
An entirely different health plan offered by a new kind of partnership
The Banner|Aetna partnership provides a unique opportunity to create real changes.
- Make it more convenient with an integrated member portal that incorporates both insurance and medical information.
- Make it easier to get care by implementing a neighborhood care model approach allowing members to access resources and services they need when and where they need it the most.
- Make it easier to get answers by enhancing customer service efforts and integrating capabilities to truly solve member issues with one call.
- Simplify employer administrative tasks and the decision-making process for employees.
Our new company will succeed because each partner is equally vested and contributes what it does best:
- Aetna will provide plan administrative support (i.e., member and plan sponsor claims payments, billing and collections) as well as data, and analytics and care management services to Banner to help identify and manage its patient population.
- Banner will provide clinical care through its integrated delivery system and savings gained from improved efficiencies and health outcomes while offering care management oversight.
With each organization contributing its strengths, the new company will offer the best of both worlds: member and patient services combined to provide one cost-effective, integrated insurance and care management solution.
Our Vision
A future vision of proactive, progressive care
By aligning ownership, Banner and Aetna are jointly accountable to employers, consumers, and each other to raise health care quality while driving down costs. Our goal is to work together to achieve efficiency while offering access to high-quality care. This will allow us to pass that savings along to members and employers.
- Through a clinically integrated network, the partnership will offer lower cost options for employers and their members.
- In addition, a partnership enables the payer and provider to eliminate redundant costs and activities.
Together, we will work to connect our team, share data, and invest in resources to ensure our members stay as healthy and happy as possible. Our new organization will feature Banner’s high-quality, clinically integrated network of doctors, health centers, clinics, and hospitals, which will work together to provide leading clinical services. Care management services will promote connected care across the network, especially for those with acute and chronic diseases. Aligned physicians will work collaboratively with each other and the clinical team to assure patient satisfaction and improved health outcomes.
We’re not only thinking about the “here and now”. We’re also looking into the future, working hard to deliver the kind of value that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our members.
Transforming health care, together
Together, Banner Health and Aetna aim to offer more efficient and effective patient care at a more affordable cost. We join the right medical professionals with the right technology, so patients benefit from quality, personalized health care designed to help them reach their health ambitions.
