In Brief: Minnesota Blues, Innovalon Renew Pact

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota has renewed its contract with Inovalon to improve patient outcomes.

The Eagan-based health plan and Bowie, Md.-based Inovalon, which was formerly known as MedAssurant, reached terms on what Inovalon called a “multi-year engagement.”

As part of the deal, Inovalon will provide the Minnesota Blues with data-driven solutions to improve the overall healthcare outcomes for its commercial and Medicare Advantage enrollees.

“We are highly dedicated to delivering high quality, cost-effective care to our members,” said Frank Fernandez, vice president of government programs for the Minnesota Blues. “We look forward to continuing our work with Inovalon to implement innovative programs and comprehensive services that help achieve these goals.”

Inovalon has been providing services to the Minnesota Blues since 2004.
