- Abstract:
- Narrower provider networks offered on the health insurance exchanges are more likely to exclude oncologists associated with high-quality National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Centers. These findings suggest that narrower oncology networks, while offering lower premiums, may involve a tradeoff between cost and quality of cancer care.
