According to a survey of large employers, cancer is the top health care cost driver,¹ and spending on cancer medicines alone is projected to grow 14% annually through 2027.² And while the number of new cases for all cancers keeps rising,³ the numbers don’t account for the indirect costs of lost productivity and patient economic burden, which greatly increase the total costs of the disease.
Cancer patients can have complex care needs, and studies show that failing to meet those needs results in poorer outcomes and higher costs. That’s why we offer a comprehensive approach to cancer care—one that provides employees the support they need throughout their cancer care journey and helps contain costs.
