Here is an economic analysisusing Medicare database to describe trends in radiation oncology reimbursement at free standing clinics over the past decade. Specifically it looked at reimbursements for 16 common head and neck, breast, prostate, lung, and palliative radiation courses. To no surprise, from 2010 to 2020 the inflation-adjusted average reimbursement notably decreased for all 16 analyzed courses. The most jaw-dropping was IMRT courses that saw a 38-39% decrease in reimbursement over this decade alone. | Hogan, Pract Radiat Oncol 2023
