TML offers competitive health benefits and administrative services to eligible municipalities and other political subdivisions in Texas by utilizing innovative, viable and affordable alternatives while maintaining financial integrity.
“TML is committed to ensuring reimbursement for the highest quality care for their self-insured municipality clients and their members. With the addition of eviti, a transformative digital platform, they will now be able to align quality care with appropriate reimbursement in real time – at the point of prescribing,” said Eduardo Beruff, chief executive officer and president of ITA.
With eviti, all of the participants in the cancer care process benefit from the system’s collaborative, real-time approach to improving care and lowering risks and costs:
- Patients benefit from appropriate treatment for their cancer;
- Physicians gain systematic access to the latest, most comprehensive evidence-based treatment standards and clinical decision-support tools;
- Payers are assured that members are receiving cost-effective care within the scope of their plan benefits.
eviti was launched nationally in October 2010 to provide payer organizations and providers enhanced access to the best cancer treatment decision support available and to advance their performance in the delivery of quality care.
