“Cancer care has evolved dramatically over the past 40 years from academic, in-patient treatment to community-based, comprehensive, and coordinated cancer care,” said Hollinger. “In this model, reimbursement to providers is more appropriately aligned with the quality and value of cancer care delivered.”

The IMH is one of BCBSIL’s value-based programs that utilizes incentives to engage healthcare professionals and help facilitate improved health, affordability and customer experience. The BCBSIL intensive medical home programs initially focused on large primary care physician groups and have expanded to include hospitals, small primary care practices and specialists. The first BCBSIL specialty intensive medical home was launched in 2014 with the Illinois Gastroenterology Group.
