ASTRO to CMS: "By the love of all that's holy, PLEASE delay rolling out the APM!"

https://www.journalofclinicalpathways.com/news/astro-congress-urge-cms-adjust-radiation-oncology-apm Final decision expected soon. We are all waiting with bated breath. Have to say I agree with ASTRO on this one - most programs need at least one year (1/2021) to implement appropriate infrastructure to meet mandates of RO APM. Then again, Azar does need to make some cuts ASAP to account for all the immunotherapy/CAR-T products in the pipeline for 2020 . . .
