American Oncology Network Inc. $(AON)$ and Evolent Health, Inc. have announced a new national partnership aimed at improving cancer care delivery. The collaboration introduces an innovative model designed to provide high-quality, more affordable, and connected cancer care without the need for prior authorization. Key components of the program include quality initiatives to enhance care across the continuum, the use of provider education and incentives, and AI-driven clinical insights powered by the MiBA data and analytics platform. Providers demonstrating adherence to quality standards will be "gold-carded," exempting them from most prior authorization requirements. The partnership also seeks to support patients through enhanced care navigation and connectivity with their oncology teams, with the model set to roll out in select markets in the coming year.
