ACCC Works for You and Your Patients in Washington and Around the Country.
A major policy focus of the Association is to lead efforts aimed at assuring that cancer programs are adequately funded, thereby allowing our members to focus on what they do best: providing quality cancer care. ACCC has been working tirelessly to ensure that future ambulatory payment classification (APC) payment rates appropriately reflect the cost of cancer care in the outpatient setting. We are working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and Congress to ensure continued patient access in both the outpatient and physician office settings.
The "Contact Washington" section of this web site is designed to alert ACCC members about upcoming legislation that may affect patient access to cancer care in. From time to time we may call on you to send an e-mail directly to your Senators and Representatives from the "Contact Washington" section of our web site.
