CancerFinances.org: Getting Cancer-Related Financial Help

Cancer is expensive.

The financial burden of a cancer diagnosis is often referred to as financial toxicity.

A cancer diagnosis can impact a person's ability to maintain their income, increases out-of-pocket medical costs, and brings other unexpected expenses. That’s why we created CancerFinances.org.

This free and easy-to-use resource is designed to help individuals diagnosed with cancer and their families navigate finances after a cancer diagnosis. It also connects people to Financial Assistance Resources.

Topics covered include:

• Caregiving
• Clinical Trials
• Education Rights
• Employment
• Estate Planning
• Disability Insurance
• Family Planning
• Health Insurance
• Life Insurance
• Managing Finances & Medical Bills
• Prescription Drug Assistance

We also have a module on managing finances related to COVID-19, which talks about employment, insurance, and financial assistance programs.

Triage Cancer also offers a number of other resources related to managing finances after a cancer diagnosis, including our Checklist for Avoiding Financial Toxicity.
