Oncology Optimized Limited Distribution Table
The NCODA-preferred model for oncology care delivery, Oncology Optimized Limited Distribution (OOLD), excludes PBM-affiliated mail-order pharmacies while allowing MIPs and non-PBM mail-order pharmacies to dispense. This approach promotes coordinated, in-practice care and ensures timely, patient-centered treatment. NCODA remains dedicated to ongoing education and advocacy to expand access to this model wherever possible.

It provides comprehensive information on a wide range of therapies, including brand and generic names, associated disease states, manufacturers, and specific distribution models. By supporting medically integrated dispensing practices, the OOLD Search Table promotes improved coordination, adherence, and patient outcomes in oncology care.
