Understanding Your Coverage

Cancer treatment involves many types of costs — doctor visits, imaging, lab work, medications, and procedures. Understanding what your insurance covers (and what it doesn’t) is the first step. Don’t hesitate to call your insurance company and ask for a case manager.

Financial Assistance Programs

Many organizations offer financial help for cancer patients. Copay assistance programs, pharmaceutical patient assistance, nonprofit grants, and hospital financial aid can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. MySaada’s AI navigator Nia can help you explore options.

Dealing with Medical Bills

If you receive a bill you can’t pay, don’t panic. Contact the billing department to set up a payment plan, ask about financial hardship programs, and request itemized bills to check for errors. Many hospitals have financial counselors who can help.
