Lovelace Medical Group is joining ABQ Health Partners Affiliate Program in collaboration with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico.
ABQ Health Partners Affiliate Program, in a partnership with Lovelace Medical Group, will provide comprehensive health care to Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBSNM) Medicare Advantage members.
“We truly want to be the role model for integrated and coordinated care, which will lead to the transformation of health care delivery to assure quality, access and affordable care for all,” Dr. Aric Coffman, president of ABQ Health Partners, said in a release. “Additionally, we are always looking for ways to further align two of the most innovative medical groups in Albuquerque.”
According to a release, the ABQ Health Partners Affiliate Program is designed to improve and coordinate fragmented patient care by targeting communication and education between providers, the health plan and its patients. More than 30 medical practices and 100 physicians in five counties in central New Mexico participate in the program.
In April Albuquerque Business First reported on Lovelace Medical Group's plan to build a 9,000-square-foot clinic at 3900 Las Estancias Court SW, near Coors and Rio Bravo.
Lovelace employs about 3,600 people. Ardent Health Services, Lovelace’s parent company, generates $2 billion in annual revenue.
