Meaningful Physician Payment Reform in Oncology

J Oncol Pract. 2013 Nov;9(6S):49s-53s. doi: 10.1200/JOP.2013.001248.

Abstract

The authors describe various new models of physician payment that can serve as a foundation for a shift away from the current reimbursement system for cancer care to support better outcomes and avoid preventable costs, as well as how these reforms can be supported in a blended payment model that transitions away from but still contains elements of fee-for-service payments.
