Take Our Online Survey Regarding the High Cost of Oncology Drugs

If you're a medical oncologist/hematologist we need your help. We believe the current drug pricing methodology for chemotherapy and other related drugs is terribly flawed. It is driving practices out of business and putting patient care at risk. We'd like to gather actual practice data relative to this issue and how it's affecting practices across the US, tally it and submit in report format to key congressional and Medicare representatives. Our goal is to help drive reform in the drug purchasing process.

Too many small practices are being either forced to close, or seek alternative solutions to increase their incomes. Ethical questions also arise as to whether patients are receiving the best drugs for their treatments. In response to this critical issue, Neltner Billing and Consulting is submitting a letter to ASCO asking them to take a position on this situation.
