Small Oncology Practice Solutions (SOPS) has extensive experience in developing comprehensive cancer care in the setting of small medical oncology practices in rural areas. Patients from these areas have traditionally traveled long distances to seek therapies like radiation and diagnostic studies like PET scans, while medical oncologists have been able to deliver systemic therapies locally. Many of these patients would stay with the larger practices where they get these specialized diagnostic/therapeutic modalities.

Medicare Modernization Act 2003 has created a very difficult scenario for the solo or small group medical oncologist(s) whereby not only the drug reimbursement has come down drastically but in addition, these practices are also paying for the discount that the larger practices are getting (because of how ASP works). This has created a double whammy for small practices. It is likely to only get worse.

Fortunately, SOPS can help!

We can bring the advantages of big practices to the smaller practices by helping them provide variety of other services like radiation therapy (including IMRT), diagnostic services (like CT/PET etc), capital and volume discounts for drug purchases. We do all this by keeping overheads very low. Because as you know a penny saved is a penny earned!
