To help keep its members and the cancer community apprised and educated on the issue of payment reform, ASCO has developed a payment reform webpage and issued an ASCO in Action educational series. This four-part series is designed to help ASCO members better understand the complex issue of physician payment reform:
- Part 1 provides an overview of the issue;
- Part 2 discusses the Sustainable Growth Rate formula;
- Part 3 provides details on the current buy-and-bill system of reimbursing for oncology drugs; and
- Part 4 discusses payment reform options being considered as alternatives to the current fee-for-service system.
