LOUISVILLE, Ky. & WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) and leading renal care company Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA) today announced an agreement to broaden their collaboration toward improving the health of eligible Humana Medicare Advantage and commercial members with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) through more coordinated, holistic care. The expanded partnership is in keeping with the goals outlined in the 21st Century Cures Act, which enables people with ESRD to enroll in Medicare Advantage Plans, and with federal initiatives that call for earlier diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease; a reduction in the number of Americans developing ESRD; and support for patient treatment options such as home dialysis or kidney transplant as applicable. The agreement between Humana and Fresenius Medical Care North America goes into effect Jan. 1, 2021, and encompasses the following: As Humana continues to prioritize innovative solutions in response to todays greatest health care challenges, were pleased to collaborate with Fresenius Medical Care North America, an organization of broad capability with which we can execute an important initiative of this scale, said William Shrank, M.D., M.S.H.S., Humana's Chief Medical Officer. In the evolution of renal disease care, we are confident that the best way to improve health outcomes and the patient experience is personalized coordination that meets the needs of each individual. Thats especially vital in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. This agreement represents an evolution of our work with Humana and leverages our over 10 years of industry leadership in value-based care, said Bill Valle, Fresenius Medical Care North Americas Chief Executive Officer. Our scale, integrated nephrology network, and standardized clinical interventions and protocols uniquely position us to predictably and consistently improve health outcomes and reduce overall costs. We welcome this opportunity to offer more coordinated, holistic care to Humanas members, with a keen focus on education, comorbidity management, early detection, and treatment options, including home dialysis. This approach also helps eliminate barriers to keep renal disease treatment uninterrupted for at-risk populations. Individuals with CKD have kidneys that do not filter blood properly, which causes waste and fluid levels that can be dangerously high. CKD and ESRD affect a wide spectrum of the population but the degree of impact is not uniform. For example, kidney failure rates among Black Americans are about three times that of white Americans. In total, approximately 15% of American adults, or about 37 million people, have CKD, but many are unaware of their condition. CKD management is complex, and failure to appropriately manage the condition may cause considerable symptoms and worsening health outcomes, including ESRD.
