New Alliance and Stanford Cancer Network Program Partnership

Alameda Alliance for Health (Alliance) is pleased to announce our new partnership with Stanford Medicine and Stanford Health Care’s University HealthCare Alliance (UHA) Cancer Network Program. This partnership will allow Alliance members with oncologic or hematologic diagnoses to have access to Stanford Cancer Network specialists through both in-person and virtual visits.

The Stanford Cancer Network Program cancer specialists will provide enhanced care coordination, and streamlined access to Stanford Cancer Network surgical and medical specialists. These specialists will help remove barriers for patients to access specific, highly complex Stanford Cancer Network Program diagnostic services, and cancer clinical trials.

Who Qualifies?

Any Alliance member with an oncologic or hematologic diagnoses and directly assigned to an Alliance primary care provider (PCP).

How do I refer an Alliance member who qualifies?

Alliance directly contracted providers may refer Alliance members to one of the Stanford Cancer Network Program cancer specialists by completing an online referral or the referral form. In accordance with the Alliance referral policy, care initiated by a listed provider will not require prior authorization (PA). Consultations with any Stanford Cancer Network Program subspecialists will be coordinated by Stanford clinical administration.
