Cancer Care Shouldn’t Be a Financial Burden.
Introducing Our Medical Debt Case Management Program
No patient should be worse off because they received cancer care
The cost of cancer care is extraordinary. Too often, patients – even those with quality insurance – face crippling medical bills that can leave a long-lasting impact on them and their families.
No one chooses to have cancer and no patient wants their treatment to be a financial burden. Unfortunately, cancer care forces too many patients into financial distress, blocking them from important opportunities and even delaying proper healthcare—sometimes for years.
Patients deserve better. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) mission is to improve the lives of patients, survivors, and their families. Helping to free patients from the crushing burden of medical debt is a key way we do that.
It’s possible to reduce your medical debt.
The Medical Debt Case Management Program provides one-on-one, in-depth personalized support to empower patients to address their medical debt. Services include but are not limited to:
- Address financial concerns, including managing existing medical debt and planning for upcoming medical expenses
- Identify resources such as charity care organizations or manufacturer patient assistance programs that may reduce the financial burden
- Assist with insurance plan evaluation and enrollment, such as Medicaid, Medicare, Marketplace plans, and employer-sponsored health insurance
- Navigate insurance benefits, denials of care, and out-of-pocket costs
Eligibility Criteria
Patient must be:
- In active treatment for blood cancer, including active surveillance or follow-up.
- a US citizen or permanent resident of the United States or a US territory.
