Mission Statement

The Polk HealthCare Plan will provide the greatest quality of care for plan members based on industry standards for quality of care and cost efficacy. The new Plan design demonstrates the crucial role of member choice in healthcare decision making. The plan will transition to a member-centric philosophy, recognizing the crucial role of member choice in healthcare decision making and the importance of local provider collaboration & investment in member care. This approach will encourage members to make changes in health behaviors & lead to improved health outcomes & lower cost. The winning stakeholders include the members, providers, & taxpayers.

Vision

While the Plan transitions to a member-centric philosophy, simultaneously recognizing the vital significance of the provider community & the importance of provider investment in member care, it is ultimately not the taxpayer or the providers who can make the greatest strides in changing health status in our communities----it is those members who are empowered to take ownership of their own healthcare decision making who will make the greatest strides in improving their health status.
