ASTRO ’s role

Long-time SDN follower (pre-med, med, radonc), but first time poster, so please be gentle- given all the shenanigans going on in our field I have to ask what is ASTRO doing about this? I know it just came out, but what’s the plan? Why do we have an organization that seems to idly standby and do nothing other than “oppose” the CMS change in direct versus general supervision? Forgive my uninformed CMS/government knowledge, but can we not ask for an exclusion for RO services on the grounds of... ASTRO’s role
