In the July 2022 Provider News, Empire BlueCross BlueShield (Empire) announced that effective December 31, 2022, the Enhanced Reimbursement for Voluntary Cancer Care Quality Program would be discontinued, and the following codes would no longer be eligible for reimbursement:

• S0353: Treatment planning and care coordination management for cancer initial treatment
• S0354: Treatment planning and care coordination management for cancer established patient with a change of regimen
