Rapid expansion of new oncology care delivery payment models: results from a payer survey.
Oncology practices are seeking to adapt to new care delivery models, including accountable care organizations (ACOs), patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) in oncology, and oncology pathways, as well as new payment models, such as bundled payments or pay-for-performance contracts. ⋯ Payers anticipate that there will be a rapid expansion of the use of innovative approaches to oncology cost management over the next 2 years. As payers and their network providers gain more experience in collaborative care delivery, it is expected that demonstration of cost-savings will become more robust and convincing, and a variety of approaches will become more widely adopted.
