INTERLINK Member's Choice Providers
Member's Choice grew out of client demand for access to certain transplant programs outside of the INTERLINK "Centers of Excellence" style transplant network. Member's Choice facilities are required to maintain a conforming contract with INTERLINK; however, there is no requirement to comply with INTERLINK credentialing standards for Member's Choice designation. The Member's Choice program is yet another valuable solution offered to the growing list of satisfied INTERLINK clients.
INTERLINK Congenital Heart Disease Network Given the complexity and high costs of congenital heart disease procedures, they, like transplants, are also best controlled by using surgical providers with proven experience. When credentialing providers in our "Centers of Excellence" style transplant network, INTERLINK selected pediatric heart transplant programs which also had proven experience in complex pediatric heart surgery. INTERLINK developed credentialing and contracting standards specifically for this program. Click to See Children's Heart Care Network
