Financial Advocacy Guidelines

The newly released ACCC Financial Advocacy Services Guidelines—a framework for oncology financial advocacy programs everywhere.

A Commitment to Equitable and Affordable Cancer Care

As we celebrate modern advances in anti-cancer treatment, such as precision medicine and managing advanced disease as a chronic condition, it is crucial to acknowledge the ever-increasing healthcare costs that come with these achievements. Patients and their families often face a complex healthcare and insurance ecosystem where financial incentives are not always aligned with access to and affordability of care.

The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) is helping meet this need as the leading organization in providing necessary support and a voice to its members to help us better address patients' financial concerns. In this effort, the ACCC Financial Advocacy Network has released its 2023 Financial Advocacy Services Guidelines to assist cancer programs and practices in effectively developing and implementing financial advocacy programs.
