Most health plans offer benefit enhancements to members using transplant centers with proven credentials and outcome statistics.  To guide members to these centers, health plans contract with specialized transplant networks. Transplant networks with comprehensive credentialing and provider selection programs are often referred to as “Centers of Excellence” style programs.

The first “Centers of Excellence” style program was established over seventeen years ago.  Transplant centers report transplant outcomes using similar measures, and as a result,  healthcare professionals are able to identify transplant centers where excellent transplants are most likely to occur.  National transplant networks form relationships with transplant programs offering consistent, high quality transplants.  These relationships are then reviewed annually for continued participation in the network.

The INTERLINK Transplant Network is a national network and an established leader in the transplant network industry, often referred to as being one of the most used and respected transplant networks in the United States.  This year, thousands of members will access INTERLINK transplant providers for solid organ and bone marrow transplants.  The network offers unmatched national coverage and promotes access to nearly seventy of the nation’s most noted transplant centers.

INTERLINK is well known for creating successful transplant programs for insurers, stop loss carriers, TPAs, HMOs, PPOs, and self-funded health plans.
