A bill to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to create a Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Payment Program exempt from budget neutrality adjustment requirements, and to amend section 1128A of title XI of the Social Security Act to create a new statutory exception for the provision of free or discounted transportation for radiation oncology patients to receive radiation therapy services.

Bill 118 s 4330, also known as the Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Payment Program Act, aims to make changes to Title XVIII of the Social Security Act. The main goal of this bill is to establish a new payment program specifically for radiation oncology services that is exempt from budget neutrality adjustment requirements. This means that providers of radiation oncology services will be reimbursed based on the value of the care they provide, rather than being subject to budget constraints.

Additionally, this bill seeks to amend section 1128A of title XI of the Social Security Act to create a new exception for the provision of free or discounted transportation for radiation oncology patients who need to receive radiation therapy services. This exception would allow providers to offer transportation assistance to patients without facing penalties under existing anti-kickback laws.

Overall, the Radiation Oncology Case Rate Value Based Payment Program Act aims to improve access to radiation oncology services for patients while also ensuring that providers are fairly reimbursed for the care they provide. This bill is currently under consideration in Congress and has the potential to impact how radiation oncology services are delivered and paid for in the United States.
