At the ACCC 40th Annual National Meeting, David Evans, RN, MSN, MBA, discussed some of the top reimbursement issues that cancer centers face when it some to clinical trials. Evans says that an organization that is committed to offering clinical trials as treatment options should have, or needs to develop, a culture and infrastructure that promotes enrollments, supports patients in dealing with third-party payers, and challenges anyone who threatens to withhold reimbursement for the routine cost of cancer care.
