About This Webinar

As the cost of cancer care continues to increase, organizations are realizing they need a new approach to lower costs if they want to stay competitive in the years ahead, and still deliver improved care and experiences to their members. New specialty specific alternative payment models (APMs) are being employed by health insurance providers with promises to improve outcomes and lower costs, but as organizations start their journey, they need to take steps to get ahead of any speed bumps and reach their business goals.

Join panelists from Integra Connect and UPMC Health Plan as they host a discussion around how the most effective alternative payment models go beyond traditional program components and feature innovations to enable improved patient outcomes and experience, reduced patient, provider, and payer costs, and clinical, financial, and operational practice transformation.

Attendees Will Learn About

  • How APMs are driving a competitive advantage, along with best practices
  • How and why leading insurers collaborate with specialty specific technology partners and enable providers to succeed with value-based care
  • How APMs can reduce the risk to health plans and improve clinical outcomes for patients
  • New approaches to administering APMs, including how to support providers and practices
