Cancer Care Management: Employer Best Practices & Programs that Support Patients, Families & ROI

Cancer is one of the most prevalent health conditions in the U.S. and a leading cause of disability in the workplace. It’s estimated that cancer costs employers about $19,000 a year in lost work time and medical treatments per 100 employees; add to this the significant cost of long and short term disability claims. Cancer rates and costs for treatment are expected to continue to rise.

With the right information, tools and plan design, employers can play a valuable role in supporting employee efforts before, during and after treatment. These efforts can results in positive impacts to cost management and employee return to work efforts, and help to maintain a healthy and productive workforce.
