Radiation oncology leaders talk Medicare payment reform

Radiation oncology organizations have come together in an effort to reform Medicare payments for radiation therapy services.

The organizations include the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO), the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The alliance comes in the wake of cuts to Medicare payments for radiation therapy services, which the organizations say threatens patient access to cancer care.

Join Luh, MD, from the ACR and Sameer Keole, MD, president-elect of ASTRO spoke with AuntMinnie.com on the alliance's goals.
