Nucleus Solutions.
The fluctuating reimbursement landscape continues to be a
significant challenge that community oncology practices
patients face on a daily basis, making it difficult to make
fast, accurate decisions about which therapies are the most
effective and the most economically sound for the patient
and the practice.
Protocol Analyzer is the only solution available today that
helps the practice to manage the disparity in oncology
reimbursements. By providing robust product and protocol
economics modeling, physicians can quickly and efficiently
examine various components to determine the total cost
of care.
How It Works:
Protocol Analyzer shows the comparative costs of protocols
used within a disease state, by factoring in real-time drug
data and reimbursement rates as well as practice-specific
overhead and medication costs. The software instantly
determines reimbursements based on this data and provides customized reporting options for the
physician, the patient and even the billing agent.
Practices can also track an aggregated view of the overall cost of cancer therapy within the practice
and compare in-practice prescribing patterns and reimbursement trends with national guidelines.
Value for the Patient and the Practice:
By providing clarity around the actual cost of treatment, practices can improve the efficiency of cost
management and focus attention to what matters most: patient care.
