CMS Innovation Center Announces Successor to the Oncology Care Model

The Enhancing Oncology Model will focus on certain cancers and health disparities

The Biden Administration, through HHS and CMS, announced a new model aimed at improving cancer care for Medicare patients and lowering health care costs. The CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation designed the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) to test how to improve health care providers’ ability to deliver care centered around patients, consider patients’ unique needs, and deliver cancer care in a way that will generate the best possible patient outcomes. The model will focus on supporting and learning from cancer patients, caregivers, and cancer survivors while addressing inequities.

If your oncology practice is interested in participating in the EOM, register and apply by September 30, 2022.
