When Documentation Does Not Support the Charge
February 2027
In radiation oncology, providing the service is only part of the reimbursement equation. When clinical documentation does not adequately support the charge, organizations may face lost revenue, denials, or difficulty defending billed services. This webinar will explore common documentation gaps that can affect charge capture and reimbursement, including documentation supporting treatment delivery, motion management, gating, and level of service. Presenters will discuss practical ways clinical, authorization, coding, and billing teams can work together to identify gaps earlier, strengthen documentation workflows, and reduce preventable revenue loss.

Reimbursement Across Practice Settings: Navigating the Changing Radiation Oncology Payment Landscape
April 2027
Changes in coding, reimbursement, and payer policies do not affect every radiation oncology program in the same way. Academic medical centers, hospital-based programs, and freestanding practices may face different payment structures, authorization requirements, financial pressures, and operational challenges.
This webinar will bring together perspectives from across these three practice settings to explore how the changing reimbursement environment is affecting radiation oncology organizations. Presenters will compare payer and authorization experiences, reimbursement challenges, and operational and financial impacts, while sharing how their organizations are adapting processes and evaluating risk. Attendees will gain insight into both the differences and common challenges across settings and practical considerations they can apply within their own organizations.

Right Work, Right Role: Redesigning the Radiation Oncology Care Team
May 12, 2026 | 1pm-2pmET
As radiation oncology departments manage staffing pressures, increasing complexity, and changing workforce needs, simply adding staff may not solve underlying operational challenges. How responsibilities are distributed across the care team—and whether team members are able to work at the top of their roles—can have a significant impact on workflow, communication, team effectiveness, and patient care.
This webinar will examine one radiation oncology program’s experience implementing a nursing-centered clinical care model that incorporated staffing benchmarks, clearer role definition, physician and staff alignment, workload distribution, and top-of-license practice. The session will explore how the model was implemented, how responsibilities and workflows were restructured, and what was learned about improving team communication, supporting nurse engagement, and strengthening quality processes. The discussion will also consider broader operational lessons for radiation oncology administrators and how elements of the approach might be adapted across different practice settings and organizational structures.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss practical considerations for implementing and adapting a clinical care model within a radiation oncology program.

Hosting a Policymaker Site Visit: A Practical Guide for Radiation Oncology Administrators
June 15, 2027 | 12pm – 1pm ET
This webinar will provide radiation oncology administrators with practical guidance for hosting an elected official or legislative staff member at their facility. The session will walk through how to arrange and prepare for a site visit, including extending the invitation, developing an agenda, identifying key topics and operational issues to highlight, preparing internal participants, conducting the visit, and following up afterward. The webinar will also introduce ASTRO resources and templates that can help administrators plan an effective visit and communicate the impact of radiation oncology care in their communities.
