Is Cancer Treatment Centers of America being sold?
City of Hope, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit hospital system, said Wednesday that it will purchase Cancer Treatment Centers of America for $390 million.
Does Cancer Treatment Centers of America accept TRICARE?
Most Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) facilities also work with Medicare and Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage HMOs and PPOs) and, in some cases, Medicaid. Additionally, we accept some U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and TRICARE plans.
How does CTCA make money?
CTCA does offer prospective patients without approved policies the opportunity to pay cash—typically large sums—in advance of treatment. Given low Medicare and other commercial payer reimbursements, these policies help ensure profitability and set CTCA apart from most large cancer centers.
How good is CTCA?
The CTCA formula resonates with many patients. According to Healthgrades, a doctor- and hospital-ratings site, CTCA facilities consistently beat national averages in patient satisfaction.
