Public Inspection: CMS: Radiation Oncology Model

Pre-publication notice of proposed rule from the Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (CMS) proposing to delay the start date of the Radiation Oncology (RO) Model to a date determined through future rulemaking and modify the model performance period to reflect the suggested start date. The RO Model will test whether prospective episode payments to hospital outpatient departments and freestanding radiation therapy centers for radiation therapy episodes of care preserve or enhance the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries while reducing Medicare program spending. Comments are due within 60 days of the publication of this notice, which is scheduled for April 8, 2022.
