@nickodomphd-rn.bsky.social highlighted the need to support cancer caregivers in our healthcare ecosystem -6000 Billion USD of unpaid labor (at minimum wage) by cancer caregivers a year. A great presentation at the first @pallonccop.bsky.social meeting in 2025 #pallonc #supponc #caregivers #cancer

Fantastic presentation by @nickodomphd-rn.bsky.social at @pallonccop.bsky.social mtg! Family caregivers provide enormous amount of care that was traditionally provided by nurses/social workers & is probably underestimated! More support is needed for these important individuals!

Check out these caregiver training billing guides by the CAP-CT group at @UCSF. These guides include the billing codes in the 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. #hapc
