ASP Changes
"As part of the proposed debt ceiling cuts to Medicare and Medicaid is a $3 billion ratcheting down of Medicare drug reimbursement from ASP + 6% to ASP + 4%. This would have obvious devastating consequences to community oncology practices and their patients, already facing a growing list of cancer drugs reimbursed at less than cost. As a result, it is imperative that you reach out to your Representatives and Senators, as well as the White House, to ask them to tell their leadership that ASP drug reimbursement cuts to cancer care must be taken off the debt ceiling negotiation table."
COA, ASCO and US Oncology have responded - WE MUST DO WHAT WE CAN TO BE HEARD!!!
IT IS EASY! Just plug in your zip code and your representatives in DC are listed - CALL, FAX, EMAIL!
Please take a few minutes to voice your oposition - we have the power to stop this!!!!
We realize your days are full but many of our practices will not survive a 2% cut in payments - please reach out and be heard!
Thank you,
