The Optum Cancer Centers of Excellence Network

See a map and listing of the health care providers who are current members of the Optum Cancer Centers of Excellence (COE) network.

 
 

Our solutions help manage cancer costs while improving outcomes and quality of care. 

Cancer Resource Services

Cancer Resource Services (CRS) provides access to top-performing cancer centers across the country, known as our Cancer Centers of Excellence (COE) network. CRS is particularly useful for individuals with a rare or complex cancer, or individuals seeking a second opinion on their cancer diagnosis or treatment.

The network includes 37 leading cancer centers that meet strict evaluation criteria such as a multidisciplinary approach to care, treatment planning and coordination, and high-quality clinical research. The network’s goal is to lower costs through shorter hospital stays and reducing unnecessary and inappropriate treatment.

CRS can deliver, on average, up to 45% financial savings1 for inpatient, outpatient and physician services through our contracts with the COE facilities.

Cancer Support Program

The Cancer Support Program (CSP) is a case management program that supports members in active cancer treatment. Members have access to an oncology nurse case manager and support from a team of cancer experts.

CSP nurse case managers provide network guidance, education, pain management, treatment adherence, palliative care support, and survivorship or end-of-life care.

Ensuring the patient’s condition is properly managed helps avoid hospitalizations, emergency department visits and inappropriate treatment, thus reducing the total cost of care for clients.
