 VA Awards Contract for Regions 1-3 of VA’s New Community Care Network

VA CC Regional Network

Dear Community Providers:

VA is pleased to announce that it has awarded a contract to Optum Public Sector Solutions, Inc., part of UnitedHealth Group, Inc., for management of Regions 1-3 of VA’s new Community Care Network (CCN). CCN is VA’s direct link with community providers to ensure VA provides Veterans with timely, high-quality care. VA is excited to partner with Optum to provide care to our nation’s Veterans. The contract award for Region 4 of CCN is expected in early 2019 and Regions 5 and 6 later in 2019.

     • Full Press Release

During the transition to CCN, please continue to partner with TriWest Healthcare Alliance (TriWest) as they expand their national network of community providers. TriWest’s community care network serves as a critical bridge between now and when CCN is deployed nationwide to ensure Veterans continue to receive the care they need. Optum will reach out to you for enrollment in their regional networks based on a deployment plan.

Thank you for your partnership and your commitment to serving our nation’s Veterans.

Sincerely,

Kameron Leigh Matthews, MD, JD, FAAFP
Deputy Under Secretary for Health for Community Care
