The model encourages collaboration and information sharing among a broader network of physicians, and it is intended to improve care and lower costs.\nThe OCM also encourages practices to improve care and lower costs through payment incentives. Under this model, physician practices receive performance-based payments for episodes of care surrounding chemotherapy administration to Medicare patients with cancer, as well as a monthly care management payment for each beneficiary.\nPatrick Conway, MD, the CMS principal deputy administrator and chief medical officer, said that there has been higher than expected participation in the OCM among hospitals, indicative of the importance oncologists are placing on the program.\nThe OCM is a creation of the CMS\u2019s Innovation Center, which focuses on fostering inventive solutions for issues in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program, and is advanced by the Affordable Care Act.
