Innovative program jointly launched by Independence Blue Cross and Penn Medicine accelerates access to outpatient scans
A joint program from Independence Blue Cross (IBX) and Penn Medicine gets patients on the path to care and a diagnosis faster and to save both providers and IBX time on prior authorization requests for outpatient scans (such as, CT, PET, and nuclear medicine scans, MRI and echocardiograms). Launched in 2023, the success of the program has driven IBX to expand the program to other network providers.
