Payer Policies

ASTRO advocates for appropriate coverage of radiation oncology services by engaging in discussions with private managed care organizations and other entities, such as the California Technology Assessment Forum. We also respond to managed care organizations’ requests for input regarding medical coverage policies that impact payment determinations.

If you are experiencing problems getting coverage for radiation therapy services by a managed care organization, ASTRO may be able to assist.

ASTRO model policies are used as a basis to support coverage positions and requests.
