Erlanger Health Earns Inaugural BlueCross BlueShield Of Tennessee Pay-for-Impact Award

  • Friday, May 2, 2025
Erlanger has earned BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's first Pay-for-Impact Award which rewards providers "delivering high-quality, cost-effective care to the BlueCross members they serve."

Erlanger earned the designation after the insurer conducted a review of services provided to members that focused on whether they received recommended preventive care and screenings in a timely manner. 

“As medical costs continue to rise, we understand how important it is to support and recognize our provider partners’ efforts to provide a high standard of cost-effective care,” said Dr.
Andrea Willis, SVP and chief medical officer for BlueCross. “In choosing recipients for our Pay-for-Impact program, we paid special attention to practices who deliver high-quality care for all our members, including those with high levels of social risk factors. We know that if providers can serve these patients well, all BlueCross members will benefit.” 

One provider in each major region of the state earned Pay-for-Impact status and a $50,000 award as an incentive for their meaningful results on behalf of BlueCross members. Erlanger won in East Tennessee, while Baptist Medical Group’s Family Physicians Group won the West Tennessee recognition and Meharry Medical Group won for Middle Tennessee.  
 
“BlueCross and Erlanger have a long-standing tradition of partnership, and a shared commitment to meeting the health care needs of our region. We are proud of the care we provide BlueCross members and all our patients, and we’ll continue our efforts to deliver quality, accessible services that protect and improve health,” said Jim Coleman, president and CEO of Erlanger.
