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. 

To read the series, go to ASCO’s physician payment reform page at asco.org/paymentreform.
