The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center has decided to give payers and practices more time to apply for participation in the Oncology Care Model (OCM).
The OCM’s new application submission deadline is June 30, at 5 pm Eastern Daylight Time. The deadline extension is exclusively for web-based applications.
Only those who submitted timely, complete Letters of Intent (LOIs) are eligible to apply for acceptance into the program, says a written statement by the CMS Innovation Center. Applications must be completed online using an authenticated weblink and password that was e-mailed to each applicant upon submission of a complete LOI. PDF versions of the applications will not be accepted.
Visit the OCM web page for more information, including the updated Frequently Asked Questions document.
