EOM Acceptance: What’s Next?

John Elliott from Carevive extends warm congratulations to oncology sites, cancer centers, and programs that have applied for the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM). CMS has started sending acceptance letters, and it’s time to gear up for what’s next.

Step one is to acknowledge the acceptance confirmation to ensure a smooth setup for the July start of the EOM. Step two involves referencing an email received during the week of January 16th, containing benchmarking calculations. Understanding these benchmarks is crucial for anticipating reimbursements based on historical patient volumes and episodes.

Lastly, step three involves preparing a well-thought-out plan for July 1st, focusing on practice redesign activities. This includes coordinating human resources, embracing health equity components, integrating ePROs, and optimizing technology for efficiency and success in the model.

Congratulations to those accepted, and if you’re still awaiting news, don’t hesitate to reach out to Carevive for guidance on navigating these exciting next steps.
