'ITA adds remarkable value for our members and for us'
"Oncology risk management requires attention to detail, great sensitivity when talking to patients, respect from their doctors, tremendous oncology expertise, and access to leading experts. Further, it demands an advanced, yet easy-to-use infrastructure to support and facilitate all of those functions. ITA Partners excels in all of these areas. It has exceeded our expectations, adding remarkable value for our members and for us." -- Medical Director, Georgia-based HMO
"When ITA gets involved, it's like a new family comes into your life. No matter why I called, our ITA nurse always helped. She got information for us … She made sure I understood everything, and if I didn't understand, she'd review it with me and help me figure out what I needed to do. She cared." -- EE, caregiver for patient in South Carolina
“I was skeptical. A company that would support me, helping me attain best-possible care, yet linked to me through my insurer? Well, I can tell you — it IS true. ITA gets treatments approved quickly. They run interference. When I need medication, they work to secure it at a good price. They really care. They explain what’s happening when I don’t understand. If we didn’t have ITA Partners, I don’t know what we’d do, financially or emotionally.” -- RB, breast cancer patient in Tennessee
“ITA provides meaningful continuity of care. Even in the best treatment situations, care can be fragmented across hospitals, doctors’ offices and patients’ homes. ITA bridges the gaps, collaboratively and professionally. When patients and families are distressed, ITA spends time with them. ITA helps them understand diagnoses and treatment, while focusing on the most meaningful and realistic priorities. What you’re doing at ITA shouldn’t be extraordinary, but it is. ITA does what we wish we could do for all of our patients.” -- Dr D.F., cancer rehabilitation specialist
“Our collaboration with ITA has proven to be very valuable... Treatment plan reviews provide oversight of clinical interventions as well as identifying alternative options available and cost-saving opportunities. The immediate real-time knowledge available at ITA is much more up-to-date and efficient than information we can locate internally. ... Those members who elect to participate in case management have their own personal nurse who can answer questions, listen to concerns, and provide caring direct. The ITA package provides clinical, financial, and caring insights for management of our members.” -- Director of Quality and Utilization Management at a 650-physician HMO
“Our members write us now, saying they couldn’t have made it to the other side of treatment without ITA. The savings ITA secures for our members and for us are astounding, and I never have to worry whether patients are receiving quality care.” -- Primary Insurer Case Manager
“ITA’s chief medical officer and nurses play an extraordinarily important role by linking with the pharmacy, the insurer and the oncology doctors, helping to pave the way for appropriate care. ITA affirms that our treatment approaches are scientifically grounded.” -- Dr. W.D., Indiana
“ITA Partners is aggressive in out-of-network situations, obtaining discounts that protect patients’ lifetime maximum benefits and reduce exposure for the employer group. It’s a win-win situation. They’re the experts. When they help with my high-risk cancer cases, I can invest my time elsewhere.” -- Third Party Administrator Case Manager
"I can't tell you what a friend I found in my ITA nurse, Lynn. She was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, checked in on me all of the time, and helped me with my medical bills when I didn't know what the codes mean. It can be so overwhelming at times, but she was always there to give me support. I can't thank her enough." -- JA, breast cancer patient in Oklahoma
“My wife received her medication today … Thank you, ITA Partners, for making all of this happen. Having someone deal with insurance issues and medical people is about the best that can happen when people get into the world of cancer.” -- HC in Mississippi, whose wife is fighting breast cancer
“Thanks to ITA Partners, I have answers on complex cancer care questions within a day or two; no longer must I make patients wait a week while I try to validate prescribed treatment. ITA communicates regularly and lets me know what’s happening with our patients, so I, in turn, can keep our stop-loss managers well informed.” -- Third Party Administrator Case Manager
“I have a patient with esophageal cancer being treated in a clinical trial. ITA connected with me at the insurer’s request, because they had a question about the treatment; they were most likely going to deny payment. I was surprised to be talking with an oncologist — a colleague with excellent clinical understanding. Based on our discussion, the patient’s treatment was approved.” -- Dr. K.D., New Hampshire
“ITA provides us, our employer groups and patients with high-quality care management for potentially high-dollar claims. ITA provides excellent cost containment and ensures patients receive care that meets up-to-date, federally approved standards. They’re compassionate, and they’re business savvy.” -- Third Party Administrator Case Manager
"Thank you, ITA Partners for everything you’ve done for me and my family. You’ve spent endless hours on my behalf working with the insurance company and hospitals to reduce my bills. You’ve also answered my questions about my cancer. I’ve never met my ITA care manager in person, but I feel I have a friend for life. She’s my guardian angel." -- JM in Virginia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma survivor
"I received the very best support and consideration from my case manager, Lisa. She worked with my insurance company to get me the best coverage and care possible. She maintained contact with me and my caregivers to stay on top of my condition. I appreciate all of her efforts and the efforts of the entire staff at ITA Partners." -- AH, colon cancer patient in Indiana
"Thank you, ITA, for guiding me through this incredible maze of health questions, insurance questions, negotiation and support. Having someone to go to for everything I might need an answer to was so very comforting.” -- DW, breast cancer patient in Florida
