Abstract

The authors describe various new models of physician payment that can serve as a foundation for a shift away from the current reimbursement system for cancer care to support better outcomes and avoid preventable costs, as well as how these reforms can be supported in a blended payment model that transitions away from but still contains elements of fee-for-service payments.
