Support The Prompt Pay Discount Fix
The prompt pay discount legislation (HR 1392 / S 1221) would correct a problem that threatens the efficient distribution of cancer drugs to your local facility. This bill rectifies the disparity between the actual physician costs for cancer care drugs with the rates of reimbursement through the Medicare program.
Summary:
- Community-based cancer centers provide cancer treatment to over 84% of the nation's cancer patients and this bill would help to correct one of the major factors threatening the availability of these cancer treatment facilities.
- The prompt pay discount fix would correct a problem that threatens the efficient distribution of cancer drugs to community-based cancer centers.
- Because it is wrongly assumed these discounts are passed on to medical providers the reimbursement formula artificially reduces drug payment for cancer care drugs and threatens the small margins of the cancer drug distributors serving this crucial function.
