• Prospective, episode-based payment model
• RT providers will be paid predetermined rate per cancer type for 90-day episode of treatment, for included RT
services
• Mandatory participation from RT providers and RT suppliers that furnish RT services within randomly
selected Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs)
• 5-year model - Begins January 1, 2022 and ends December 31, 2026
• CBSAs selected for RO Model contain approximately 30% of all eligible Medicare fee-for-service
(FFS) RT episodes nationally
• ZIP Code look-up tool, contains all five-digit ZIP Codes linked to selected CBSAs, available on RO
Model website

• CMS adopted extreme and uncontrollable circumstances (EUC) policy that allows it to adjust model
performance periods, reporting requirements, and/or payment methodology when necessary
− CMS finalized its proposal to adopt EUC policy based on ongoing COVID-19 public health
emergency
• Unless HHS Secretary terminates his renewal of the COVID-19 PHE prior to January 1, 2022,
CMS intends to invoke provisions of EUC policy on January 1, 2022
• Specific RO Model flexibilities intended for PY 1 (January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022) are
indicated by UPDATE in slide deck
• Additional information regarding implementation of these changes will be provided to RO participants
by CMS via upcoming learning events and materials

then requirements for triggering an episode will not be met, and incomplete episode policy takes effect
• 28 days after an episode has ended is the “clean period” during which time an RO participant will bill RT services

• If clinically appropriate, an RO participant may initiate another episode for same RO beneficiary

• Technical component
Episode payments are made in 2 installments:
• 50% at start of episode
• 50% at end of episode (no sooner than day 28

• RO episode is included in, and paid for under, RO Model if RO beneficiary dies after Technical
component of RO episode has been initiated, or if RO beneficiary elects Medicare hospice
benefit after initial treatment planning service, provided that Technical component is initiated
within 28 days following initial treatment planning service
• Each RO participant will receive both installments of episode payment under such
circumstances, regardless of whether RO beneficiary dies or elects Medicare hospice
benefit before relevant course of RT treatment has ended

• In addition to SOE and EOE claims, all RO participants must submit RO Model encounter data on
no-pay claims for all included RT services identified on RO Model Packaged/Bundled HCPCS
Codes list within a given 90-day episode
• No other HCPCS codes can be included on claims with RO Model-specific HCPCS codes
(using V1 and V2 modifier)
• Encounter-like (no-pay) claims should be submitted after RO episode has been established with
adjudication of SOE claim

1. Identify national base rate for cancer type
− Since 15 cancers are included, CMS will create 30 base rates using historical average cost for
episode of care based on FFS claims from 2017 to 2019
2. Apply trend factor to base rates to reflect current trends in payment and treatment pattern
changes
3. Apply geographic adjustments
4. Adjust base rates for each participant's historical experience and case mix history
5. Apply discount factor
− 3.5% for PC, 4.5% for TC

6. Apply incorrect payment withhold, quality withhold and/or patient experience withhold
- Starting in PY1, incorrect payment withhold reserves money for reconciling duplicate or incomplete
episodes; it will be 1% of total episode payment for PC and TC
- There will be annual reconciliation process to determine if participants receive back full 1%, a portion
of it, or owe money to CMS
- Starting in PY2, quality withhold will hold back 2% of payment that participants can earn back based
on their performance on and reporting of quality
- Applies only to the professional component
- Starting in PY3, a 1% patient experience withhold will kick in for and will be based on scores from the
Cancer CAHPS for Radiation Therapy
7. Apply beneficiary coinsurance
- Beneficiaries have 20% coinsurance
8. Apply sequestration adjustment in accordance with applicable law

• Builds an RO episode for every patient with treatment planning (CPTs 77261, 77262, 77263)
• Multiple episodes will exist for patients with multiple treatment planning dates
• Episodes will not overlap
• Uses the zip code of the location where the treatment planning is delivered to determine if the zip code
is in a CBSA covered by the model
• A cancer type is assigned using the diagnosis codes associated to the treatment planning code
• The number of days between planning and initial treatment to determine if the episode is incomplete
(>28 days)
• Assigns the National Base Rate for both professional and technical components based on the cancer
type
• Identify services that are included in the model and
• Assign the MPFS fee schedule value of the service based on the schedule in effect on the
date of service
• Determine if the service date was within 90 days of the treatment planning
