Independence Blue Cross (IBX) is proud to offer a competitive Clinical Care Innovation Grant Program (Grant Program). The Grant Program is intended to foster new, innovative approaches to care delivery that will ultimately help improve the health and well-being of a provider's patient population. If the new approaches are found to be effective in helping IBX members, we hope to share them more broadly with the providers in our network, so the community at large can benefit from their success.
IBX will award up to five grants in 2025 to health systems and large specialty groups that have value-based care contracts with IBX. Awarding the grants and disbursing grant funding is contingent upon Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval or waiver. All grant proposals and awards must comply with all applicable state and federal requirements including, but not limited to, all requirements and regulations imposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Please note: Each entity is permitted up to three submissions for the 2025 cycle. The deadline for submissions is September 26, 2024.
