Blue Cross and Blue Shield announce access for adults with Medicare at Duly Health and Care Oak Park Clinic

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) and Duly Health and Care announced today that they are working together to bring a new senior-focused care delivery experience to Oak Park and surrounding communities at the Duly Health and Care Oak Park Clinic.

The Clinic, at 1121 South Blvd. in Oak Park, Ill., offers services that help seniors understand their total health and achieve their wellness goals, including physical health and mental acuity.

“This collaboration builds on our longstanding commitment to enhance access to quality, cost-effective, equitable care in the communities we serve,” said Stephen Harris, President, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. “This project with Duly Health and Care means that those with Medicare Advantage plans from BCBSIL can access care with a focus on member experience, convenience and affordability.”

The Duly Health and Care Oak Park Clinic is open now and available to BCBSIL Medicare plan members. This value-based care arrangement is designed to meet the evolving and diverse needs and lifestyles of members, with the goal of improving outcomes and reducing overall cost of care.

“We are excited to work with Blue Cross to give seniors a full picture of their health through a new standard of high-quality care,” said Kristen Vealey, MD, leader of the Duly Oak Park facility. “Seniors who see us at the Oak Park clinic will experience quality health services delivered with care and tailored to their health needs including maintaining healthy blood pressure, managing diabetes, and maintaining physical strength.”
