Call to Action: Tell Congress to cosponsor the ROCR Value Based Payment Program Act!

Your action is needed now! Ask your member of Congress to support the reintroduced Radiation Oncology Case Rate (ROCR) Value Based Payment Program Act of 2025.

 

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.

 

WHY NOW: Medicare payment for radiation therapy services is broken and needs immediate reform before more cuts are implemented. The status quo is unsustainable. ROCR will provide relief from both further cuts and decouple payments from volume, supporting high quality of care.

  

This is a unique opportunity to secure payment stability immediately and into the future. Your story, as a constituent, provides the most influential insight for Congressional offices and pulls immense weight in getting members to cosponsor the bill.  The more cosponsors, the better chances for passage, so please act now!
