WellBe Senior Medical Partners with The Oncology Institute to Extend High-Value Cancer Care Services Across Illinois and Ohio
January 25 2024 - 7:00AM
WellBe Senior Medical announced today that it is strengthening its
cancer care capabilities to further support its mission of managing
the population health of polychronic Medicare Advantage patients by
partnering with leading cancer care provider, The Oncology
Institute, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOI).
WellBe now offers The Oncology Institute’s High-Value Cancer
Care Program to eligible patients in Illinois and Ohio. As part of
this program, TOI provides care management and supportive care
services customized to the needs of the individual patient with
active cancer diagnoses. This program has demonstrated significant
improvements in patient satisfaction, less acute care facility
utilization, and is focused on addressing the supportive care needs
of patients without displacing the community oncologist.
“At WellBe, we partner with health plans to care for their most
complex members and bring customized care to their homes,” shared
Dr. Iyad Houshan, Chief Medical Officer of WellBe Senior Medical.
“A cancer diagnosis is a life-changing event for all, and
especially for seniors with multiple chronic conditions. We chose
The Oncology Institute to partner with so that we can offer added
care and resources to our patients and their families to help
mitigate some of the burdens during a cancer treatment
episode.”
“We are excited about the opportunity to serve more patients in
partnership with WellBe Senior Medical across these two new states
for TOI,” commented Dr. Daniel Virnich, CEO of The Oncology
Institute. “WellBe’s mission to provide tailored care to the
frailest seniors aligns with TOI’s goals in cancer care. We have
been refining this program for many years and have published
outcomes that show benefit for patients. Our model ensures that we
are providing complementary services to manage patient experience
and acute care utilization in addition to the services that a
community-based oncologist can provide.”
