Community oncology practices deliver nearly 85% of U.S. cancer care, giving patients access to high-quality treatment close to home. But sustaining this mission has become increasingly difficult: costs keep rising, reimbursement is declining, and administrative complexity strains already limited teams. At the same time, patients face some of the highest out-of-pocket expenses in all of healthcare, too often delaying or abandoning care.
Forward-looking practices are proving there’s a better way. By modernizing financial assistance with technology, they’re expanding patient access, easing staff burden, and strengthening their financial health. Last year:
- Highlands Oncology Group reached 54% more patients and increased program approvals by 57%.
- CARTI secured $3+ million in copay assistance.
- New England Cancer Specialists unlocked $2+ million.
- Munson Healthcare cut A/R days by 49%, improving cash flow and sustainability.
These results show what’s possible when financial navigation becomes a strategic priority. With TailorMed’s end-to-end platform, cancer centers are removing cost barriers at scale—for patients, staff, and the bottom line.
