Opportunities for Academic and Hospital-based Integrative Medicine in a Value-Based World
A colleague recently asked for an example of an economically sustainable academic medical center fully ‘integrated’ across specialties and service lines.
Regrettably, after thinking long and hard, I couldn’t come up with even one fitting that description. However, there do appear to be a few seemingly profitable outlier programs featuring direct-pay models for consults and super bills requiring patients to file their own insurance claims.
The only academic or hospital-based programs with integrative medicine fully integrated institution-wide, of which I am aware are Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Allina Health and Holy Redeemer.
