SUMMARY:Bundled Payments for Oncology: Creating Value-Based Episodes of Care
DESCRIPTION:Aug. 22\, 1-2:30 p.m. ET \nAnnual spending for cancer treatment in the U.S. is set to reach $184 billion by 2020. The large and growing bill has raised concerns that fee-for-service payments for oncology are promoting over-treatment and use of more expensive drugs irrespective of patient benefit. With cancer rates projected to rise steeply in the next two decades\, this is a critical time to improve efficiency and standardize quality in oncology services\, and many see episode-based bundled payments as a promising strategy. \nThis webinar\, developed jointly by NIHCM Foundation and the Center for American Progress\, will cover the following topics: \n\nthe latest cost and quality issues in oncology\, including missed opportunities in care coordination and end-of-life care\nan overview of the framework for episodic payment bundles developed by a consortium of oncologists\, public and private payers\, and patient groups\nthe use of bundled payments in Medicare\, and how CMS might approach reforming payment for oncology services\na health plan collaboration with a leading oncology provider group to develop episodes of care with a focus on improving quality\n\nSpeakers:  \n\nEzekiel Emanuel\, University of Pennsylvania\nPatrick Conway\, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\nGlenn Pomerantz\, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey\nAndrew Pecora\, Regional Cancer Care Associates\n\nA draft agenda is available. Registration for this free webinar will remain open until 10 a.m. ET on August 22nd.       \n
