Oncology Hematology Care

What Oncology Hematology Care does

Oncology Hematology Care (OHC) is an independent, physician-owned oncology and hematology practice headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, operating 13 office locations across Greater Cincinnati. Founded in 1983 with a corporate entity formed in 2015, OHC delivers comprehensive adult cancer care spanning medical oncology, radiation oncology (including IMRT, IGRT, stereotactic radiosurgery, and adaptive radiation therapy with Ethos), surgical oncology (medical and gynecologic), gynecologic oncology, neuro-oncology, immunotherapy, targeted/genomic therapy, genetic counseling, palliative care, and survivorship. The practice also administers more than 100 blood and marrow transplants per year, totaling over 2,800 procedures since 1993, and was the first adult oncology group in the region to offer CAR-T cell therapy through a partnership with The Jewish Hospital-Mercy Health. OHC operates an in-house specialty pharmacy (4350 Malsbary Road), a nurse triage center ("Call Us Early. Call Us First."), nurse navigator services, financial navigation, and a clinical trials program (SCRI at OHC) staffed by 27 research team members across 5 locations, in collaboration with Sarah Cannon Research Institute.

The practice generates revenue primarily through insurance reimbursement for clinical services, supplemented by dispensing revenue from its specialty pharmacy and research-related revenue from clinical trial participation. OHC accepts a broad payor mix including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and multiple government plans; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is conducted directly through OHC-owned clinics, with patient acquisition supported by a physician liaison program that maintains relationships with referring primary care and specialty practices as well as health systems. The go-to-market motion is therefore enterprise-field-sales-adjacent: a B2B2C referral model layered on top of direct patient self-referral.

OHC's business model combines fee-for-service clinical care with value-based care participation through the CMS Oncology Care Model and Oncology Medical Home accreditation, and is differentiated by multiple accreditations (Commission on Cancer, ACHC, ACR, ASCO QOPI). Strategic activity in 2024-2025 has centered on inorganic and organic growth: a March 2025 acquisition of Cincinnati Breast Surgeons, the September 2025 onboarding of five new physicians, and the May 2024 SCRI collaboration have expanded the surgical oncology vertical and trial pipeline, signaling continued mid-stage consolidation within the regional oncology market.
