Purpose: The Radiation Oncology Alternative Payment Model (RO Model) will test prospective episode-based payments for radiotherapy episodes for 16 common disease sites. Most radiation modalities, including brachytherapy monotherapy, combination modality therapy, external beam radiation therapy and proton therapy, will be included in the model. We created an automated analytics platform to calculate the impact of the RO Model vs historical fee-for-service episode reimbursements for brachytherapy treatments within five community oncology practices for prostate, uterine, and cervical cancer.
