Summary
This trial will compare the health outcomes and costs of care for cancer patients who receive chemotherapy under the HMSA Cancer Episode Payment Model (CEM) with those who receive care under the current fee-for-service model.

What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new payment model called Cancer Episode Payment Model (CEM) that aims to improve care coordination for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and see if it can reduce healthcare costs while improving outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a payment model rather than a medical intervention, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs or medical procedures.
