## Who this is for
Eligible employees and dependents with the cancer benefit. AccessHope says its program supports all cancer types and stages.

## What they do

Cancer subspecialists review the case and send recommendations to the treating oncologist or benefit plan, with an offer of a physician-to-physician discussion. The patient continues care locally.

## Who it’s for

Eligible employees and dependents with the cancer benefit. AccessHope says its program supports all cancer types and stages.

## How to start

Check employer or plan eligibility and contact the benefit support team. Ask how your oncologist can participate and how you receive the recommendations.

## Cost and insurance

Confirm what your employer or plan covers and any patient charges. This employer benefit is not the same product as Dana-Farber’s individually purchased online opinion.

## What to check

AccessHope does not take over medical care. Its review is directed to the treating oncologist or plan, rather than being a standard patient-facing hospital appointment.

## How it fits

Dana-Farber also uses AccessHope to coordinate its adult online opinions. That individual service and this employer benefit have different access and deliverables.

## Questions I would ask

- Which specialist would review my cancer and the decision I am facing?
- Does the review include rereading the actual scans and pathology, or only their reports?
- What will I receive, and how can my oncologist ask follow-up questions?
