Humana Expands Value-Based Care Partnerships for Musculoskeletal Health, Boosting Medicare Advantage Plans

Humana Inc. has expanded its value-based care partnerships to improve patient outcomes for those with musculoskeletal conditions. The company has partnered with Vori Health, HOPCo, and TailorCare, providing Medicare Advantage members with access to comprehensive care coordination and support. This initiative aligns with the growing emphasis on value-based care models and could enhance Humana's competitive edge in the Medicare Advantage market.

Humana Inc. has announced strategic partnerships with Vori Health, HOPCo, and TailorCare to enhance its value-based care offerings for Medicare Advantage members living with musculoskeletal conditions. These partnerships aim to provide personalized, coordinated care and improve patient outcomes [1].

Under the new agreements, Humana Medicare Advantage members will have access to care coordination professionals who integrate with their primary care clinicians. Vori Health, available nationwide, and HOPCo, focusing on Arizona, will offer musculoskeletal care services. TailorCare, currently available in Atlanta, will expand its services to Dallas and Denver by November 2025 and January 2026, respectively [1].

These partnerships align with Humana's commitment to value-based care, a patient-centered healthcare model that prioritizes holistic care to improve patient health outcomes. Musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and joint disorders, affect nearly one in two Americans and are a significant driver of medical expenses [2].

By expanding its musculoskeletal care program, Humana aims to reduce preventable costs and improve health outcomes for its members. The company's focus on value-based care could lead to higher member satisfaction, better retention rates, and improved margins over time [2].

The strategic decision to expand musculoskeletal care services is part of Humana's long-term growth strategy and addresses the increasing need for specialized healthcare solutions. The company's CenterWell segment reported 8.9% year-over-year growth in revenues in the first half of 2025, along with an improved operating cost ratio [2].
