A Whitepaper on the Value of a Comprehensive Experience
Employers across the United States are facing a growing concern: the rising costs of cancer care. This economic burden is pushing organizations to explore new ways to both keep their workforce healthy and support employees who are fighting cancer. Our whitepaper takes a closer look at what driving costs are—and how a more comprehensive care experience can deliver meaningful savings for employers while improving employee health outcomes.
Our approach to analyzing growing costs
The Transcarent team conducted a detailed analysis of:
Recent studies and healthcare data
Trends in cancer incidence and treatment
Insights from leading clinical experts
We went beyond medical and pharmaceutical costs to examine the broader ecosystem that drives expenses before, during, and after treatment.
Understanding key cost drivers
Our research revealed six key cost drivers impacting employers:
Complexity of the U.S. healthcare system. Patients are often left unsupported, overwhelmed, and confused while navigating multiple providers.
Late detection and later-stage treatment. Costs can be significantly reduced when cancer is caught earlier.
Cancer innovations outpacing local knowledge. NCI centers often lead in research, while local physicians may lack access to cutting-edge treatments.
Avoidable inpatient admissions and ER visits.Treatment side effects can lead to preventable admissions and added expenses.
Difficulty finding top-quality providers. Variability in clinician quality affects outcomes, complications, and costs.
Workplace engagement challenges. Absenteeism and caregiver leave lead to lost productivity and replacement costs.
