Innovative Payment Strategies in Proton Therapy: Addressing Challenges and Driving Value

Foley partner Kinal Patel is speaking at the 2025 National Proton Conference in a panel titled “Innovative Payment Strategies in Proton Therapy: Addressing Challenges and Driving Value” on April 27.

As reimbursement challenges in radiation oncology continue to grow, innovative payment strategies are emerging to demonstrate the value of proton therapy. This session will explore the evolving landscape of payment models, including the Radiation Oncology Case Rate (ROCR), a proposed legislative solution aimed at stabilizing reimbursement. Panelists will discuss how proton therapy’s potential to reduce long-term health care costs can drive innovation in the private sector and how new payment approaches can help ensure patient access to this advanced treatment.
