Bundled payments will focus on treating early-stage lung cancer and include surgery and radiation therapy bundles developed by Moffitt and Minnetonka, Minn.-based UnitedHealthcare.
“Our organizations are working together to promote more patient-centric, evidence-based care, and this bundled payment model is an important part of UnitedHealthcare’s value-based programs that are shifting how we collaborate with care providers,” Lee Newcomer, MD, UnitedHealthcare’s senior vice president of oncology and genetics, said in a prepared statement.
