Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The CC Links intervention included an oncology financial navigator who worked in the Hematology-Oncology Clinic. The navigator's functions included: screening for financial hardship to identify unmet financial needs (using the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network's Distress Thermometer; initiating cost of care conversations; providing cost of care estimates; ensuring adequate health insurance coverage and assisting with applying for additional coverage; assisting with internal financial assistance program applications; connecting survivors/caregivers with disease specific resources and other external assistance programs; coordinating discharge planning; referring survivors to social workers and other staff/resources as needed; and, coordinating financial assistance services as survivors/caregivers transition between outpatient and inpatient settings.
