Every #RadOnc in the United States is officially caught between a #ROCR and a hard place.

Read our @NeimanHPI supported study @IJROBP to learn why bundled #Medicare models like #ROCR (Radiation Oncology Case Rate) are important to consider and potential areas for improvement.

Credentialing delays mean canceled visits and slower care.

Dr. Join Luh (@j_luh) explains how AB 2457 can reduce backlogs and improve patient access.

PAC proudly supports AB 2457.

@toddscarbrough Should’ve just used a G code, payer hasn’t updated their system anyway. Throw in some ultrasound guidance while you’re at it.

Thank you to #ROCR Act champion @RepJohnJoyce for today's question to @SecKennedy about radiation oncology’s payment crisis. We appreciate that Sec Kennedy committed to work with Dr. Joyce & the radonc community to protect access to cancer care, especially in rural areas.

Radiation lymphoma studies that are published in rad onc journals are better cited, despite lower impact factor. Lymphoma studies reporting on radiation negative clinical outcomes are more likely to be published in non-rad onc and higher impact factor journals, and by non-rad onc authors: https://t.co/MGciPMCmIg

Ensuring that patients get the care they need is an important aspect of every radiologists' job. This starts with clear communication that reassures the patient that your recommendations are the right next steps for them. Join @AlyssaCubbison as she explores how expertise plays a huge role in this step in patient care in our first #ACRYPS column, YPS: Early to Rise. #ACRBulletin 🔗 https://t.co/oQ1MhabqkE @RadiologyACR @OrmsbyMD @koolkpMD @DSmethermanMD

In conjunction with the Patel et al retrospective study on the cost of telehealth in #radonc, ACRO member Dr. @j_luh has authored the editorial "Telehealth in #RadiationOncology: Time to Refine, Not Just Expand" now published on #CURiE. Read it here: https://t.co/RNdUUL6ZdP

[Aaron Bush, MD @AaronBushMD]

When is telehealth for radiation oncology on treatment visits appropriate? It likely depends on the site of service/disease type.

At my freestanding center, I often am also the patients PCP. Without me there is no in-person physician support, patients go straight to hospital.

[ACRO - American College of Radiation Oncology @ACRORadOnc]

#CURiEAlert: "Excess Cost of Telehealth Use in #RadOnc: A Medicare-Based Cohort Study" is published! This study analyzes Medicare beneficiaries who received external beam radiation therapy in outpatient hospital-based settings between 2020-2022: https://t.co/xTrO87xA76

Mark your calendars for Sept. 7th, 2025, as the radiology community will come together to celebrate the first ever World Radiotherapy Day. This day hopes to raise awareness around the world to reduce disparities preventing patients from getting access to radiotherapy.

See the @ACRBulletin about @RadiologyACR's involvement as well as why everyone in the House of Radiology should participate!

@RadiologyACR @koolkpMD @UTSW_Radiology @koolkpMD I hope whatever I said was pretty funny 😂 #RLISummit is a great experience. Have used lessons taught here in several leadership roles since!

Thank you Dr. Bush and Dr. Basree for your insights & support.

@dmkoffler @StudentLoanAdv That’s my approach. 3 week notice scare tactic does not sit well with me. Very unclear transition instructions.

💎🙌 for now. Good luck with PSLF, I hope it works out for you.
