- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) on oncology practice. The MMA is complex legislation that has multiple components, including changes in physician reimbursement, and changes in hospital outpatient reimbursement. One of the key components is how providers are reimbursed for drugs and biologics. Although Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the final rule in November, questions remain regarding the true impact until all payment schedules are released in their final form.
