This week's episode we welcome a special guest, Shawn Prince. Shawn is an expert in healthcare policy, reimbursement, and payment and government management. Shawn shares with us his views on how the RO-APM will potentially impact radiation oncologists, hospitals/clinics, insurance carriers, especially Medicare, and patients. The final rule was announced publicly on Sept 18, 2020. If you want to read the full 950+ pages of the final rule and policy you can find the link here: CMS Final RO-APM Rule
We discuss with Shawn on what to expect, what it means, and how to interpret some of the key aspects to this final rule. The question will become, will you be deemed an efficient or inefficient "provider" in radiation oncology?
