INTERLINK Health Services Inc. and INTERLINK Care Management Inc. (collectively “INTERLINK”) are innovators in outcome-based care-improvement programs. Focusing on high cost, low frequency procedures, intensive credentialing, procedure outcome collection methods and evidence-based treatment protocols, INTERLINK achieves lower care costs through good medical outcomes. In 1995, INTERLINK began building a “Centers of Excellence” style transplant network, which is used today by health plans all across the nation. Healthcare reform initiatives provide incentives for health plans and programs to focus on member outcome improvement. INTERLINK is aggressively expanding into new areas providing outcome-based solutions for other high cost medical procedures. Using rigorous outcome collection and review processes to identify high performing providers in transplantation, ventricular assist device care and cancer care, leads to improved outcomes for the member and plan. INTERLINK’s TransplantCOE Network provides access to nearly 80 of the nation’s most noted transplant centers. Each year, INTERLINK’s medical team collects and reviews outcome measures for each of our 468 credentialed transplant programs. Our winning formula for significantly reduced costs is: improved member outcome + volume negotiated rate = lower health plan costs.
In addition to credentialing, INTERLINK offers TransplantCOE candidate education tools, case manager support programs, expansive networks and great contract rates to health plans. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) adjusted transplant benefit language is made available for employers and health plans to guide members to COE centers. Nurses and case managers can also benefit from INTERLINK’s educational offerings for transplant management. Medical Roundtable Webinars and Advance Achievement in Transplant Management Training (AATMC) classes dispense about 5,000 free CCM education credits a year.
INTERLINK’s CancerCARE program is an evidence-based cancer program, featuring targeted cancer specific SPD benefit plan language, NCCN GuidelinesTM, experienced oncology care coordinators and a CancerCOE Network comprised of NCCN® and NCI Cancer Centers. Surprisingly, most plan documents do not have a dedicated section for cancer care. INTERLINK created the benefit language utilizing The Employers Guide to Cancer Management, which was developed by a panel of NCCN® and the National Business Group on Health. Cancer programs operating without benefit language support simply do not have the ability to ensure that your members are receiving the evidence-based care they deserve. INTERLINK’s CancerCARE program offers the total cancer care solution.
All of INTERLINK's programs are designed to seamlessly integrate into health plans and vendor partners of all types. For more information about INTERLINK TransplantCOE, please call 800-599-9119 and for information about INTERLINK CancerCARE programs, please call INTERLINK at 887-640-9610. |
