Phase N/A
Financial Navigation Program for Cancer Patients This study looks at a program to help cancer patients, and their spouses or partners, better manage the costs of cancer treatment. Cancer treatment can be expensive, and this program aims to help patients understand their expenses, insurance coverage, and find ways to save money. The study will compare two groups of patients: one group will receive basic financial education through online videos, and the other group will also have monthly meetings with financial counselors for six months. Participants will answer questions about their finances and quality of life at the start and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Spouses or partners can join too.
  • Study lasts for 12 months with online videos and optional monthly meetings.
  • Participants may receive help with understanding costs and reducing financial stress.
  • Designed for cancer patients and their spouses or partners, 18 years or older.
Before joining, participants should be ready to provide personal information like their name and social security number for financial assessments. The study does not allow participation if the patient is in hospice care.
