    Alert Number 248

    Call to Action

    Date: September 1, 2024

    CLL and lymphoma patients are facing the prospect that a valuable, FDA approved therapy option may become unavailable because of proposed changes in Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement schedules. You can read about the therapy and issues involved in our announcement on the subject: Radioimmunotherapy Reimbursement Cuts. A patient initiative has been launched to appeal against these changes. Please take a minute to read about this issue and take action by adding your endorsement to the patient initiative.

    For some background on how radioimmunotherapy is relevant to CLL, you might want to read our recent article, Bexxar: An introduction to Radioimmunotherapy.

    Be proactive. Be well,

    P. C. Venkat
