History of this Program
History
Why the need
• Payers (Medicare and private insurers) are demanding quality,
cost control, accountability, and predictability
– All are trying to quantify quality and value
– Payers are teaching and learning from each other
• The cost of treating cancer is increasing
– Payment of cancer care is at a crossroads
– Every payer with a pathway is unsustainable and not good
medicine
• The landscape of all of cancer care is changing due to unstable
and unsustainable reimbursement
– Leaving treatment gaps, especially in rural areas
– Increasing costs
