COA’s Crystal Ball for 2023

2023’s policy slate is full of changes that could affect the delivery of cancer care. A new Congress, the upcoming Enhancing Oncology Model, and activity around the states on pharmacy benefit managers are just a few of the items that could change how your provider operates and how you receive care. Are you ready for them?

Join COA’s Executive Director Ted Okon, Managing Director Nick Ferreyros, and Director of Patient Advocacy and Education Rose Gerber on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 at 12 p.m. ET for an exciting discussion around expected developments in cancer policy this year!

A prepared advocate is an effective advocate. That’s why COA and CPAN are working to provide advocates with the latest information on policy changes. As 2023 begins, make sure you have the tools and knowledge you need to advocate for local, affordable cancer care.

CPAN Advocacy Chats are regular virtual 30-minute educational conversations about cancer advocacy and policy with a guest speaker invited to discuss issues important to patients and advocates. Summaries of previous Advocacy Chats are available on the CPAN website.
