key information

summary/abstract:

After you are diagnosed with cancer, it’s important to think about the different costs that could add up during treatment and recovery. This can be difficult, since you are already focusing on your health and learning about your diagnosis. However, knowing what costs to expect will help you budget for them and find any support or financial assistance you may need.

Whether you have private health insurance, government insurance such as Medicare or Medicaid or no insurance, you are encouraged to talk openly with your health care team soon after diagnosis about the costs of your care. Even patients with health insurance can be left with costs that add up quickly, and there are different resources to help patients manage this financial impact.
