ROCR would usher in long-term payment stability after years of declines and consolidation. Led by Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Gary Peters (D-MI), and Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), John Joyce, MD (R-PA), and Paul Tonko (D-NY), ROCR is a viable payment reform proposal that would increase access to care, improve the quality of cancer treatment, lower barriers to care for underserved patients, encourage innovation, and lower Medicare spending and patient costs. It's sponsored by 50 Senators and Representatives and supported by over 135 organizations, including physician groups, patients, hospital systems, freestanding centers, industry, and more.

WHY NOW: Medicare payment for radiation therapy services is broken and needs immediate reform. The status quo is unsustainable. ROCR will provide relief and decouple payments from volume, supporting high-quality care.
