The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a law originally intended to lower prescription drug prices, holds dire consequences for patients: If Congress fails to fix major flaws, community oncology practices will shut their doors.

When independent clinics close, patients lose access to their doctors and care can shift to more expensive hospital settings. Watch COA Executive Director Ted Okon explain how the IRA could harm patients and why Congress must act.

Cancer is both physically and emotionally challenging. Independent community oncology practices help relieve some of the burden by delivering high-quality care close to home and people’s support networks. When patients with cancer step outside the practice, their family caregivers are vital—providing transportation, buying groceries, housecleaning, and ensuring their loved one’s well-being.

Join COA’s Rose Ge**er, MS and Darcie Champagne, president and CEO of CanCare, Inc. for this Month’s CPAN Advocacy Chat on Wed., Nov. 12, as they celebrate National Family Caregivers Month and discuss helpful resources for caregivers.

November is National Family Caregivers Month. These relatives play a crucial role in helping loved ones navigate cancer treatment, whether transporting them to and from appointments or providing emotional support. Independent community oncology’s personalized, local approach delivers high-quality cancer care in the patient’s community, enabling caregivers to support their loved ones close to home.

In October, COA accompanied members in Ohio to meet with elected officials, spoke up about the effects of the 340B program's bad actors, made open enrollment materials to help patients navigate insurance changes, and more. Check it all out by reading the October edition of the COA newsletter.

Insurers do not count financial assistance coupons toward a person’s deductible—known as copay accumulator and maximizer programs—which can cost patients big. Patients may delay, skip, or stop treatment as a result while insurance companies profit. Watch the latest Cancer Policy Minute to learn more about these programs and why Congress should pass bipartisan legislation to end them.

Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are increasingly delaying and denying access to prescription medicines, just to boost their own bottom line. PBMs’ predatory business practices are dangerous for patients with cancer and those managing serious conditions. Fortunately, advocates are driving much-needed PBM reform so people can get the treatments they need, when they need them. Join COA’s Christine Pfaff, RPh, MBA and Rose Ge**er, MS for this month’s CPAN Advocacy Chat next Wednesday at Noon ET, as they discuss PBMs’ harmful influence on cancer care and ways advocates can get involved.

If you’re too sick to pick up your own cancer medication, what are your options? Unfortunately, the current interpretation of the Stark Law creates unnecessary barriers by preventing family members from picking up their loved ones’ prescription medications, or doctor’s offices from delivering them to a patient’s home. Watch COA’s Executive Director Ted Okon explain how policymakers can fix Stark Law’s outdated policy and eliminate unnecessary hurdles to accessing cancer care.

09/03/2025

Did you know people with cancer are less likely to have reliable access to affordable and nutritious food than the average person? Join COA for our next CPAN Advocacy Chat on Wed., Sept. 10 at noon ET. Rose Ge**er, MS, COA’s director of patient advocacy and education, and Shiela Plasencia, COA’s director of practice support, will discuss food insecurity and how independent community oncology practices ensure people living with cancer get the healthy food they need.
