• 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

participation with an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality-listed patient safety

organization

Professional participants and Dual participants must:• Discuss goals of care with RO beneficiaries before initiating treatment, and inform them whether

Start of Episode (SOE) – CPT codes 77261, 77262, or 77263 are only codes that can be used to trigger RO episode

End of Episode (EOE)

• If RO beneficiary is not treated with RT from an RO participant within 28 days of initial treatment planning service,

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

furnished to RO beneficiary in accordance with Medicare fee-for-service rules

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

• Reasons for incomplete episode

• Technical or Dual participant does not

furnish technical component (TC) to RO

beneficiary within 28 days following initial

RT treatment planning service

• Traditional Medicare stops being primary

payer for RO beneficiary at any point

during 90-day period, provided that RT

provider or RT supplier furnishes TC RT

service to RO beneficiary within 28 days

• RO beneficiary switches RT provider or

Episode payments are split into 2 components:

• Professional component

• Technical component

Episode payments are made in 2 installments:

• 50% at start of episode

• 50% at end of episode (no sooner than day 28

of episode)

• 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

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

• Uses the zip code of the location where the treatment planning is delivered to determine if the zip code
