Cancer care is complex.
Delays are costly.

When it comes to cancer treatment, every moment counts. In fact, every four-week delay in treatment after a diagnosis can increase mortality by up to 8%1.

But the cost of covering these treatments is also rising, and by 2030, costs are projected to reach $246 billion2.

Members struggle to navigate their diagnosis and treatment, and providers face administrative burdens along with trying to close gaps in care for their patients — All while plans struggle to provide connected coverage at a reasonable cost.
