What does this do?
This bill replaces Medicare's current per-service payments for radiation therapy with one bundled payment covering a full course of treatment for 15 cancer types, including breast, lung, and prostate cancer. Payment rates would be the same whether treatment happens at a hospital or a private clinic. The bill also adds a small extra payment to help patients with transportation needs get to their appointments, and requires clinics to meet accreditation standards to receive full payment.
Who does it affect?
Medicare patients receiving radiation therapy for cancer are directly affected, as are the doctors, clinics, and hospital outpatient departments that provide that treatment.
Why does it matter?
Clinics that do not meet accreditation standards would receive a reduced payment. Any savings from this payment change would not be used to reduce Medicare payments in other areas.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Fixed pay per treatment, 2 installments
- Add-on for patients lacking transport
