Boot Camp

Powerful Training to Boost Your Financial Advocacy Skills

Whether you are an experienced financial advocate or new to the field, the ACCC Financial Advocacy Boot Camp prepares you to help your patients and your program address the growing issue of financial toxicity.

Two levels of dynamic, online courses will empower you to help cancer patients navigate the complex and fragmented healthcare system to pay for treatment—while maximizing reimbursement at your program. Work at your own pace to acquire the key knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the increasingly essential field of oncology financial navigation.

With ongoing changes in healthcare coverage and reimbursement, professional development is critical to stay ahead in this ever-changing landscape.
