The potential risks that might come along with the implementation of Medicare Maximum Fair Prices – The US Oncology Network

The US Oncology Network shared a post on LinkedIn:

“READ or LISTEN: An interesting interview with Texas Oncology‘s Debra Patt, MD PhD MBA discusses the potential risks that might come along with the implementation of Medicare Maximum Fair Prices.

These could include longer wait periods for reimbursements and lower add-on payments for providers, which would hit community oncology practices particularly hard.

The Community Oncology Alliance hopes to facilitate discussion on this topic and collaboration in dealing with any future challenges.”
