Florida Blue, the state's leading health insurer, has launched a
new comprehensive oncology care model designed to provide faster
access to high-quality cancer care for its myBlue members. This
patient-centric program, jointly developed by Florida Blue, Sanitas
Medical Centers, and The Oncology Institute (TOI), is available in
select areas across Florida and may grow over time to reach more
communities in the state.
The Oncology Institute, one of Florida Blue's trusted in-network
providers and the leading value-based oncology group in the U.S.,
offers high-quality cancer care in 14 locations in Central and
South Florida. Sanitas Medical Centers provides value-based,
comprehensive primary care for nearly half a million Florida Blue
members, through their 60 Florida Blue | Sanitas Medical Center
locations across Florida.
Through this new program, myBlue members diagnosed with cancer
will be quickly connected with their own TOI oncology team, which
will develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans based on
the patients’ needs and preferences and will partner with their
Sanitas primary care provider to actively support each patient’s
overall health and mental well-being. This collaborative approach
ensures seamless communication and coordination between primary
care physicians, oncologists and patients and their family members
for more comprehensive and integrated care.
"We are committed to making affordable health care easier and
more accessible for our members and our patients," said Elana
Schrader, senior vice president, Health Care Services at Florida
Blue, and president of GuideWell Health. "This program is an
example of how we're transforming the system to deliver value-based
care solutions that improve health outcomes and help keep care more
affordable. Together with The Oncology Institute and Sanitas, we're
able to begin offering myBlue members rapid access to high-quality
cancer care, while also empowering the Sanitas primary care team to
manage their overall health and well-being during a critical and
often stressful time for patients and their families."
Dr. Raul Daza, chief medical officer for Sanitas, added, "We are
confident that through our collaboration with The Oncology
Institute our patients will have a better overall care experience
and clearer communications as they deal with a disease state that
can be challenging and complicated to understand. By partnering
with TOI, we are taking proactive steps toward providing the
support cancer patients require, which can also include other
physical, mental and social needs that are critical to help them
comply with their treatment. We believe this partnership will set a
new standard for oncology care."
myBlue is a popular Florida Blue health insurance plan for
individuals and families who buy their own coverage (not provided
by employer group coverage) designed to provide access to
affordable and convenient health care through a network of trusted
providers, like Sanitas Medical Centers. As an HMO plan, it is
centered around the member and the primary care doctor who
coordinates all of the patient’s health care needs.
Individuals who are not currently myBlue members can enroll
during the current Marketplace open enrollment period which ends on
Jan. 15, or anytime during the year if they qualify for a special
enrollment. For more information, please
