Ensures continuity of care for cancer patients during insurance contract negotiations

Added specific definitions for 'course of treatment' (treatment protocol administered plus up to 90 days of follow-up care) and 'clinical stability' (90 days post-treatment with intended results or maintenance treatment).

Expanded coverage eligibility to include doctor's offices and other oncology providers, not just hospitals that specialize in oncology treatment.

Modified the coverage continuation requirement to specify coverage continues until the patient is clinically stable, with clear criteria for determining when that occurs.

Added specific rate adjustment mechanism requiring payment rates to be adjusted by the Medicare Economic Index minus one percentage point starting the next calendar year.

Changed bill sponsor list from single sponsor to multiple sponsors and updated committee status to reflect discharge, amendment, and recommitment.
