A new collaboration between Highmark and innovative, regional health care providers is making cancer care more coordinated and ensuring high quality, affordable treatment
The Highmark Cancer Collaborative was launched by Highmark and the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Cancer Institute in western Pennsylvania in March 2016 to develop quality standards of care that could be replicated in other regions.
Which Members will Benefit?
The PinnacleHealth initiative applies to any commercial clients, who are part of the eviCore radiation oncology program, as well as fully-insured clients and Medicare Advantage members. ASO companies can also opt in if they so choose.
The Highmark Cancer Collaborative will benefit any of these members who are seeing a participating oncologist, including independent oncologists. Access and additional costs, if any, will vary according to their specific health plan.
