Banner|Aetna | Strategic Alliance Partnership

Banner|Aetna, a joint venture between Aetna® and Banner Health was created to improve quality, affordability and the patient/member experience for members in Arizona. The company combines Banner’s care management capabilities and high-quality facilities, providers and delivery system with Aetna’s leading health plan expertise, cutting-edge analytics and health information technology. Owned by both an insurance company AND a health system, Banner|Aetna is uniquely aligned on incentives that typically divide priorities between a payer and provider. This complete alignment strengthens the companies’ shared commitment to reward value over volume of care for the delivery of better outcomes and lower health care costs. And the savings achieved by streamlining care and services are passed on to employers and members creating a cost savings ecosystem. For more information about Banner|Aetna, visit www.banneraetna.com.
