Multiple Myeloma Cost of Care Under the Oncology Care Model: The Influence of High-Cost Therapies.

Purpose: As expenditures for cancer care continue to grow substantially, value-based payment models are being tested to control costs. The Oncology Care Model (OCM) is the largest value-based payment program in oncology. The primary objective of this analysis was to determine the impact of high-cost novel agents on total cost of care for multiple myeloma (MM) episodes of care in the OCM.
