For Practices

Any independent community oncology practice that is dedicated to lowering costs and offering better choices for employers and their employees to access high-quality cancer treatment close to home is eligible to join.

To become an NCTA member:

• Practice must sign the COA Quality and Value Standard attestation form to attest to adherence to a set of high-quality cancer care measures. Visit the COA Quality and Value Standards page to learn more.

• Send your signed attestation form to Carrie Pernell at [email protected].

• Once this attestation form is received, the practice is enrolled within the NCTA network and begins receiving benefits right away.

NCTA offers a wealth of benefits to its members, including: 

• NCTA practices gain exposure and opportunities to work with local, self-funded employers to expand the reach of their care services to more patients in their communities. 

• NCTA practices have access to NCTA educational resources, networking, and best practice sharing among other practices who have a shared mission.  

• NCTA practices have the opportunity to receive valuable benefits, such as a discount on their medical malpractice insurance through an exclusive agreement with The Doctors Company. 

Once a practice has joined NCTA, they have the opportunity to join the CIN. Participation in the CIN requires a deeper level of commitment, which includes: 

• A practice participation agreement 

• Benchmarking of quality metrics 

• Criteria measurement  

• Private data sharing agreements to ensure compliance with antitrust laws 

The CIN model helps practices to lower costs, improve outcomes, improve the patient experience, and improve the well-being of their health care providers. New contracts via the CIN help practices lower the cost of care and bring in new patients.
