Key Steps to Prepare for ASCT Financially

Confirm Insurance Coverage

• Ask your doctor about all medications, procedures, and facility options for the transplant.
• Find out whether the ASCT will be inpatient or outpatient, as this affects costs.
• Contact your health insurance provider to confirm coverage, especially if your treatment center is out of state or out of network.
• Even if you have Medicare, verify what will be covered.
• Get written confirmation of insurance promises, noting:

• • Date and time of the call

  • Name of the representative

  • Specific details of what is covered

Utilize Your Healthcare Team

• Work with your oncologist, social worker, or patient navigator to create a financial plan.
• They may have experience with insurance appeals, payment plans, and financial assistance programs.
