Preferred Label : Health Equity Achievement in Radiation Therapy Score;
NCIt related terms : HEART (aligns to ASTRO Health Policy recommendations);
NCIt definition : The HEART score, similar to an ECOG Performance Status scoring system, would establish
standard criteria for measuring whether the patient is at high risk for experiencing
health care disparities during their course of radiation therapy treatment and follow
up. A HEART score that meets a specific threshold would trigger a HEART payment modifier
that will be appended to the Start of Episode claim, generating an additional payment
for wraparound services to address health care disparities that are currently not
billable.;
