3 Secrets of Figuring Out the Cost of Cancer Care

3 Secrets of Figuring Out the Cost of Cancer Care

There’s no doubt that navigating your way through a diagnosis like lung cancer or mesothelioma is scary. Equally frightening is figuring out how you will pay for the treatment. Our lung cancer and mesothelioma attorneys made a list of three things to remember when dealing with your treatment expenses.

1. Talk to a financial counselor

Some hospitals offer the services of financial counselors to help patients review their medical insurance, suggest different treatment options, or help fill out paperwork. Having someone ease your money worries could help you focus on what’s most important: getting the best care and recovering.

2. Get a second opinion

While a hospital’s financial counselors could be a huge help, it’s important to remember that they work for the hospital and may try to sway patients. Getting other expert financial advice is the best way to make sure you’re making the right decisions.

3. Know your rights

Take an active role in your treatment plan—including the financials. Laws and regulations change all the time, so make sure you know your rights as a patient. For example, you have the right to appeal or get an outside review of your healthcare plan.
