A Payment Incentive to Improve Confirmatory Testing in Men With Prostate Cancer
In this cohort study of men with prostate cancer, confirmatory testing completion improved over the study period. However, the payment incentive was not associated with a robust increase in its use. The results suggest collaboration between payers and physicians has the potential to improve measures of prostate cancer care quality, but also highlight the challenges associated with payment incentives and alternative payment model implementation.
