Why Comprehensive Cancer Care Matters
Cancer significantly impacts employees’ quality of life, their ability to work, and their overall well-being. Moreover, it is recognized as the primary cost driver for employer health plans. As the incidence of cancer among individuals under 50 continues to rise, it’s crucial for businesses to address this pressing issue. Partnering with Evernorth, Transcarent infuses best practices for high-value cancer care within its Oncology Benefit Services. This teamwork aims to improve health outcomes for employees and their families affected by cancer.
