Administrator Seema Verma CMSGov Dave Adler is correct. if #ROAPM weren't enough evidence CMSGov doesn't understand anything about radiotherapy, it went ahead and cut wkly mgmnt charges. This is time MD spends with chemoradiation pt to address side-effects/keep pt out of the hospital. #pennywise £ foolish

Great work Mark R. Waddle !! Excellent and much needed presentation on #radonc payment models!! Looking forward to the future webinars on #ROAPM . ROECSG (Rad Onc Education Collab Study Group) ARRO ACROresident

With reduced cuts, less burden and more transparency, the #ROModel is a real opportunity to strengthen #radiation therapy #cancer care. ACCC joins ASTRO in calling on CMSGov for modifications to the plan. #RadOnc #ROAPM

Thank you for highlighting our study 🙏! While prospective clinical data are still maturing, this tech has allowed us to push many boundaries clincially, and yet appears undervalued by the #ROAPM . YMMV also by case mix

Excellent meeting yesterday with Senator Stabenow discussing hurdles of RO-APM & hopeful delay beyond July 1st of 2021. We also discussed disparity in supervision of MPFS & HOPPS locations & specialists reimbursement 👍🏻 #radonc #ACRO #ROAPM #ACCC #ASRT #ARRO #oncology #physician
