- Review
- An employer cancer benefit that brings subspecialist case reviews and physician-to-physician support to the patient’s local oncologist.[1]
ReviewWhat 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?
