Mandatory Radiation Oncology Model Delayed until July 2021

UPDATE: (10/21/2020) - CMS has received feedback from a number of stakeholders about the challenges of preparing to implement the RO Model by January 1, 2021. Based on this feedback, CMS intends to delay the RO Model start date to July 1, 2021. We are pursuing rulemaking to make this change.
