NCODA Information

NCODA is a grassroots, not-for-profit organization, founded to strengthen community oncology practices with dispensing services. NCODA is addressing the growing need for dispensing cancer clinics to improve operations at the pharmacy level in order to deliver quality and sustainable value to all stakeholders involved in the care of cancer patients’ receiving oral and IV therapy. NCODA brings value to practices through adoption of Quality Standards, sharing of best practices and improving financial viability. Through NCODA, dispensing practices will be in a position to further demonstrate their high quality and patient-centered focus. With NCODA’s value proposition, community oncology practices will be able to convey to all stakeholders why it is vitally important for a patient’s treatment to remain with their oncologist from first fill through refills. This value proposition creates a win-win solution for all stakeholders involved in oral chemotherapy including patients, employers, payers, practices, pharmaceutical companies, advocacy groups, professional organizations, PBMs, GPOs, foundations, legislators, and state boards of pharmacy. NCODA’s membership is comprised of like-minded community cancer centers from across the country and is rapidly spreading to additional states who operate a dispensing platform. NCODA is rapidly growing and has expanded to represent over 3,000 prescribers nationally. NCODA will always be independent for its stakeholders, as it formulates a collaborative drug therapy management model which is so vitally important to the increasing number of patients prescribed oral chemotherapy and the providers involved in their care.
