A value-based care agreement with Minnesota Oncology has resulted in big savings for members, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota said Dec. 16.
The Eagan, Minn.-based payer said the value-based contract resulted in total care costs that were 10 percent lower than average for the Minneapolis-St. Paul oncology market.
The agreement first went into effect in fall 2019. BCBS said care coordination efforts as part of the initiative led to fewer emergency room visits and inpatient admissions.
