The Trend Towards Value-Based Specialty Care
With the penetration and consolidation of Medicare Advantage (MA) in healthcare, there will be an increasing need for high performing oncology networks that are able to accommodate this transition. As more patients shift from traditional Fee for Service (FFS) to MA plans, localized Risk Bearing Organizations (RBOs) will absorb those members and remove them from traditional FFS provider care.
Local markets are being disrupted by new entrants in the oncology space. There is a wave of new providers and new models that will displace established oncologists in a market if they do not adapt to value-based care. These new entrants are specifically targeting those populations that have been the historical source of referrals for long-established oncology groups. OPN has a long history transitioning practices to value-based care, managing risk and revitalizing patient pools.
Provider Resources and Empowerment
Provider partnerships lead to growth and profitability
OPN has deep contracting expertise to develop and administer value-based oncology contracts. Its 20+ years of experience enables it to price risk contracts on behalf of a network. OPN offers visualization reporting to help manage populations rather than managing individual cases, giving meaningful insight into the value-based populations they are managing. These unique OPN models allow oncologists to share in gains when populations are well-managed. OPN knows how to successfully manage contracts based on the current FFS market conditions without affecting the per unit reimbursement rates.
