Healthcare Reform and Payer Coverage Decisions in Oncology

This interactive program will enable you to hear the latest perspectives from several of the nation's top oncology thought leaders and healthcare experts regarding the most critical issues surrounding payer coverage and policy decisions impacting access to cancer care.

Now that healthcare reform has passed, many are concerned that future coverage policies for oncology therapies will negatively impact access to innovative cancer drugs and biologics. Moreover, there exists widespread uncertainty as to how the evolving U.S. healthcare system will be able to meet basic oncology healthcare needs in the future, given the expanding cost projections associated with an aging U.S. patient population and the escalating costs of new cancer therapies and treatment modalities.

The Access to Innovative Cancer Therapies in 2010 - 5th Annual Oncology Economics Forum will bring together top experts within the oncology arena to discuss how the oncology marketplace is being impacted by the rapidly changing healthcare economic environment.  The Forum will highlight the most current issues that are critical to the cancer patient, the oncology provider, the payers, and the manufacturers; is designed for management and senior leadership from pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers, oncology reimbursement consultant groups, healthcare providers, distributors, specialty pharmacies, and healthcare plans.
