Cancer Care Clinics, Infusion Centers, and Radiation Oncology Providers

Oncology is one of the most resource-intensive and financially complex specialties in healthcare. Between high-cost therapies, evolving reimbursement policies, clinical trials, and compliance demands, cancer care providers operate in a space that is as financially challenging as it is emotionally and operationally demanding. Adding to the complexity is an increasingly difficult healthcare market, where consolidation by large health systems and oncology networks puts pressure on independent practices to either scale strategically or risk acquisition.

At A3M Partners, we deliver strategic financial support tailored specifically to oncology practices. We understand the operational workflows of infusion therapy, radiation treatment, and chemotherapy management, and we build financial systems that provide clarity, control, and growth-readiness. Whether you’re managing a single-site hematology-oncology clinic or a multi-location infusion therapy network, A3M equips your team with the infrastructure to thrive.

Who We Serve

We work closely with a wide range of oncology-focused providers, including:

  • Medical Oncology & Hematology Practices – Practices delivering long-term cancer management, diagnostics, and chemotherapy.

  • Radiation Oncology Centers – Clinics offering linear accelerator treatments, IMRT, SRS, and other high-precision therapies.

  • Infusion Therapy Clinics – Facilities administering chemotherapy, biologics, and immunotherapy in both standalone and hospital-affiliated environments.

Whether you’re an independent physician group, PE-backed oncology network, or part of a hospital system aiming for greater autonomy, A3M Partners delivers systems aligned with your unique cost structures, payer contracts, and compliance obligations.

Financial Pain Points in Oncology Practices

Complex Reimbursement & Infusion Billing

  • Oncology involves multiple layers of billing: office visits, diagnostic procedures, infusion services, and high-cost drug reimbursements.
  • HCPCS and CPT coding for oncology drugs is frequently subject to prior authorization, step therapy, and strict bundling rules.
  • Delays or denials in claims submission, especially around biologics and specialty injectables, can result in significant cash flow constraints.
  • Clinics often struggle to reconcile drug inventory against claims, creating untracked revenue loss and compliance exposure.

High Cost of Supplies, Drugs & Equipment

  • Chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs are expensive and require careful purchasing, storage, and administration tracking.
  • Oncology centers often operate with razor-thin margins due to wholesale acquisition costs (WAC) and slow-paying insurers.
  • Capital equipment like radiation therapy machines, infusion pumps, and imaging devices require multi-year planning and depreciation strategies.
  • Many practices underutilize tax incentives and fail to model ROI across treatment programs or technology upgrades.

Multi-Site Operational Complexity

  • Many oncology practices expand across multiple clinics, departments, or geographies to serve more patients.
  • Without centralized financial systems, leaders lack real-time insight into site-level profitability, cost-per-treatment, or provider efficiency.
  • Budgeting becomes inconsistent between infusion services, radiation centers, and outpatient visits, making resource planning difficult.

Transition to Value-Based Care

  • Oncology is increasingly affected by value-based programs like the Oncology Care Model (OCM) and emerging alternative payment models.
  • Practices must balance cost management with quality metrics like patient outcomes, treatment adherence, and experience.
  • Most providers lack forecasting tools to evaluate how bundled payments or shared savings affect long-term sustainability.

Compensation & Payroll Complexity

  • Oncologists may be compensated via productivity models (e.g., RVUs), revenue-share agreements, or hybrid plans.
  • Support staff include RNs, technicians, pharmacists, coders, and billing professionals — each with different pay structures.
  • Multi-location practices operating in several states face payroll tax, labor law, and benefit compliance issues.

Risk of Consolidation in a Difficult Market

  • Large health systems and national oncology networks are acquiring small to mid-size providers aggressively.
  • Many practices operate without proper financial forecasting, clean books, or valuation support to defend their independence.
  • Those who lack visibility into costs and revenue drivers often accept unfavorable acquisition terms or experience financial stagnation.
