Discover What a Cancer Specialist Wants You to Know About Value-Based Care
It’s truly remarkable how our understanding of cancer has evolved throughout the years at Fort Wayne Medical Oncology and Hematology. In today’s healthcare landscape, the cost of care is an essential aspect for patients to consider.
Value-Based Care
Unfortunately, insurance coverage may not cover all the necessary procedures for advanced care, which can create a significant financial burden during an already challenging time.
At FWMOH, we are proud to be the only practice in Indiana participating with the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services Innovation Center to reduce the cost of cancer care.
Through careful redesign of our practice, we ensure that financial impact remains low without compromising the quality of your treatment.
Cancer Won’t Wait, and Neither Should You
Our priority is to provide prompt care to our patients. When you call, you’ll often see one of our skilled oncologists within just days. This rapid access to experienced specialists helps to alleviate the fear and uncertainty that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.

Minimizing unnecessary hospital expenses benefits everyone involved.
