Most employers know cancer is a top cost driver. Few have a clear strategy to improve value.
Once value is measurable, employers can take meaningful action. The most effective organizations take a disciplined two-phase approach:
Phase 1: Understand Your Current State Analyze multi-year claims data, compare total cost of care and outcomes across providers, and assess how often members use navigation, screening, and second opinions. This reveals where value exists, and where it doesn't.
Phase 2: Use Benefits to Shift Care Redesign plan incentives to steer members toward high-value providers, remove barriers to better care, align payment with outcomes, and strengthen early intervention and screening strategies.
The result: better survival, better experience, and more sustainable long-term costs.
