San Francisco, CA October 17, 2024 – Transcarent, the One Place for Health and Care, was selected to power Evernorth Health Services’ new Oncology Benefit Services program, an end-to-end care experience to support patients and caregivers throughout their cancer journey. The digital platform included in this offering will bring together cancer services across pharmacy and medical benefits and provide added personalized patient support through a dedicated care team.
Employers are grappling with the impact of cancer on their employees’ quality of life, ability to work, and well-being. Additionally, cancer has been identified as the top cost driver for employer health plans1, as cancer rates for people under the age of 50 continue to increase2. Transcarent worked with Evernorth to embed best practices for high-value cancer care as part of the Oncology Benefit Services offering to deliver better outcomes for all employees impacted by cancer.
With Evernorth Oncology Benefit Services, employers can provide a streamlined cancer care experience. All of the benefits and services are accessible through one digital platform. Members can connect with dedicated American Cancer Society Leadership in Oncology Navigation (ACS LIONTM) credentialed Oncology Nurse Navigators, schedule appointments with high-quality oncology Centers of Excellence, connect with virtual urgent care clinicians, and receive drug consultations.
"We are excited for this opportunity to work with Evernorth to deliver the most comprehensive, end-to-end care experience available anywhere for employees and their families,” said Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer at Transcarent. "Transcarent and Evernorth share a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of people impacted by cancer. Our partnership redefines the standard for cancer care delivery."
