THE PROBLEM

The current approach to cancer care isn't working

Skyrocketing treatment costs, misaligned incentives, and a system that profits from complexity and employees exposed.

The Cost of Modern Treatments

Cancer/Immunotherapies: ~$1M annually
CAR-T therapy: $1.5M - $2M
Immunotherapy, CRISPR, robotic surgery all come at enormous price tags
Costs flow downstream to employers via double-digit renewal increases

Why the System Won't Fix Itself

Health systems profit from where care is delivered
Fiduciary duty is to the network - not the patient
Employers lack the data to push back against the standard carrier networks
Perceived complexity keeps decision-makers stuck in the same cycle

FINANCIAL TOXICITY

Average out-of-pocket costs hit $10,150 for individuals and $20,300 for families - yet 40% of employees can't afford a $400 unexpected expense. Medical bankruptcy is common.

THE HUMAN COST

50% of cancer patients are afraid to tell their employer about their diagnosis. Financial stress hinders recovery, increases recurrence risk, and leads employees to delay or avoid necessary care entirely.

THE PARADOX

Employers say they're socially conscious and employee-first, but the current cancer care models put devastating financial burdens on the very families they want to protect.

HOW IT WORKS

~ Patient in Colleyville, TX

"I had my consultation with the new clinic yesterday. Within the first 5 minutes of speaking with the doctor, I knew this was going to be a great fit for me! My while initial experience went very smoothly. I definitely would like to continue my care there. Thank you for providing me with this opportunity. It will be nice to be able to focus on my care and getting better and less on the mounting bills arriving each week"

~ Patient in Cincinnati, OH

"I'm beyond grateful for the help and the fact that I can get an infusion next week and this year without any out-of-pocket. I was told i would have to delay treatment until January because I couldn't make the co-pays and deductibles work this year... and then have to reach them all next year too. I'm going to tell my boss to keep the benefitSMART program forever. Don't change anything with it!"
