Abstract
In September 2019, immediate past chair of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Board of Directors, Dr Brian Kavanagh, published an editorial in the Red Journal entitled “Radiation Oncology APM: Why Us? Why Now?”1 This was a thoughtful look at the rationale for engaging with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to create a payment model for our specialty that was both fair and predictable, placing value over volume. In the wake of the posting of the Radiation Oncology Model (RO model) Final Rule, I believe that it is critical to follow up on Dr Kavanagh’s hopeful comments and ASTRO’s response to the emerging model.
