By aligning incentives with equity, Blue Cross not only champions a progressive cause but also sets a precedent for other health plans nationwide. The inclusion of Boston Children’s Hospital highlights a comprehensive approach towards pediatric care, underscoring the importance of early intervention in addressing healthcare disparities. This initiative is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts in making healthcare more accessible and equitable for all, particularly for vulnerable populations.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ea8e122 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent" data-id="ea8e122" data-element_type="container"> <div class="e-con-inner"> </div> </div> </div> <p><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&linkname=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&linkname=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&linkname=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&linkname=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" title="Email" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_copy_link" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/copy_link?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&linkname=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" title="Copy Link" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fsliceofhealthcare.com%2Fblue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model%2F&title=Blue%20Cross%20Adds%20Boston%20Children%E2%80%99s%20to%20Equity%20Model" data-a2a-url="https://sliceofhealthcare.com/blue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model/" data-a2a-title="Blue Cross Adds Boston Children’s to Equity Model"></a></p><p>The post <a href="https://sliceofhealthcare.com/blue-cross-adds-boston-children8217s-to-equity-model/">Blue Cross Adds Boston Children’s to Equity Model</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sliceofhealthcare.com">Slice of Healthcare</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">25539</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
