The ACCC Oncology Reimbursement Meetings (ORMs) help all members of the multidisciplinary cancer care team navigate the annual changes in oncology reimbursement and regulations— while improving their knowledge on effective strategies for success in an everchanging oncology landscape. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Jordan Karwedsky, financial counselor, Green Bay Oncology, about her session at the ORMs last fall, where she discussed best practices cancer care teams can adopt as they prepare for the open enrollment season.   “If you have a patient who is uninsured or underinsured, make a note that is a reminder for you so come November when open enrollment begins, you can reach out to them and help them optimize their insurance. In the meantime, if they need treatment, then work with the drug companies to save them as much money on their treatment.”   “Highlights from recent ORMs include how to work with your legislature, either at the state or federal level, to advocate for laws that will help patients.”   Jordan Karwedsky Financial Counselor    Green Bay Oncology     In one of the upcoming ORMs this spring, Karwedsky will share strategies for patient navigation in the digital age.
