The Oncologist's Role in Managing Financial Toxicity

This letter was received by e-mail from a patient in late October 2017 and is shared here with permission.It has been a while but at the urging of the rest of my team I wanted to reach out to you about what happened…. While my insurance was "accepted" it was considered out-of-network care. No one informed me of this. I had already met my out of pocket max for the year, and should not have paid a single cent for the rest of 2017 for covered care. Instead, they hit me with an additional bill of $7000.
