NCTA works directly with self-insured employers and other stakeholders to ensure their employees receive high-quality, patient-centered, and lower-cost cancer care. NCTA practices are part of a clinically integrated network (CIN) that holds them accountable for the care they provide through tracking and reporting of quality and value measures.
“The addition of five new practices enables NCTA to expand our strong national reach so we can work with local, regional, and national employers,” said Robert Baird, RN, MSA, president of NCTA. “We will continue growing the NCTA network to increase opportunities for independent oncology practices to collaborate with self-insured employers so their covered lives can access high-quality, affordable cancer care, close to where they live and work.”
In addition to developing contracting opportunities, NCTA leverages the expertise of its national oncology network to provide information, resources, and educational materials on key issues in cancer care to employers and employees, ranging from fundamental education on molecular and genetic testing and the importance and value of biosimilars to understanding and assessing cancer care costs and quality.
