This roundtable addressed several questions concerning how payments are handled today, followed by recommendations for improving the payment process in the future:
- How do we address the differences in the level of payment by site?
- What issues do we have with Medicare payment?
- What issues do we have with the off-label use of pharmaceuticals?
- How should research be paid?
- How do we pay for survivorship, psychosocial issues, and end of life issues?
- How can we pay for cost effectiveness?
- How do we pay for quality?
- What is the patient responsibility for payment?
After the panelists addressed each of these questions, we posed the question, “If you could change payment policy, what would you do?”
