[
Effective January 1, 2018, the Independence pathology provider
network will be closing for new office-based pathology providers. This change
applies to pathologists in the Independence five-county service area (i.e.,
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties) and contiguous
counties (i.e., counties that border the Independence five-county service area)
except when the pathologist meets the following condition:
A pathology provider is joining an existing participating hospital-based
pathology group practicing in a participating hospital in our five-county
service area or a contiguous county (as identified above).
Note: Pathologists also cannot be added to
participating non-pathology practices effective January 1, 2018.
If you have any questions about this change, please email us at officebasedpathology@ibx.com.
More information about our pathology network will be communicated in future
