Join RCCS oncology industry experts Ron DiGiaimo and Teri Bedard for an essential webinar designed specifically for SROA members. With the release of the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS) proposed rules and updates to ROCR sent to Congress, there are significant changes on the horizon that will impact coding, billing, and operational workflows across both freestanding and hospital-based oncology settings.
 
Ron and Teri will provide a debrief on what we already know and share what might still be on the horizon. A dedicated Q&A session will follow the presentation—bring your most pressing questions and join the conversation.

Back by popular demand, we are offering our preconference workshop for New Radiation Oncology Administrators again in San Francisco. 

This course is designed for new administrators for radiation oncology with less than 18 months ‎experience. The course will provide an overview of radiation oncology administration and what you ‎need to know in the first few days, weeks, months on the job, an overview of required knowledge in ‎Human Resources, Administration and Finance, and an overview of the Revenue Cycle. 

Learning Objectives:‎
1.    ‎Define basic and common radiation oncology terminology
2.    Summarize the steps from initial patient diagnosis through to treatment plan
3.    Identify appropriate codes for each of the stages in the treatment plan
4.    Plan effectively for human resources needs and budgetary cycle

The cost is $150 for members and non-members alike.  If you know of anyone who is new to administration or interested in transitioning into an administrative role, this would be a great session to attend. 

Please join us monthly on the second Thursday of the month at 5pm ET to meet up with your peers!  This meet up is specifically to set aside time to talk with others about experiences, challenges, situations, and life as an admin in general.  Hope you're able to join!

ROCR would usher in a new era of stable payments after years of declines and consolidation. Led by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Rep. John Joyce, MD (R-PA), and Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY), ROCR is a viable payment reform proposal that would increase access to care, improve the quality of cancer treatment, reduce disparities for rural and underserved patients, encourage innovation, and lower Medicare spending and patient costs. It’s supported by more than 80 organizations, including physician groups, patients, freestanding clinics, hospitals, industry and more.
