  Pre-Event Survey  |  Workshop Agenda

  Description: Complex oncology care and costs are often at the center of and the most unpredictable drivers of employer health plan costs. Employers are seeing these claims grow more frequent, more complex, and more expensive, with limited warning and little margin for error. This four-hour, employer-focused workshop is designed specifically for those who want to take control of high-cost claims without compromising care quality or patient experience. We will equip participants with the insights and tools needed to better interpret data, identify cost drivers, and implement more effective strategies.

  Confidential peer dialogue.

  When Cancer Comes to Work: A Strategic Approach to Cost, Care, and Compassion

  July 15, 2026  |  12:00 pm CST

  REGISTER HERE
  

  With nearly half of new cancer diagnoses occurring in working-age adults , employers are increasingly on the front lines of supporting employees, caregivers, and teams navigating complex health challenges. The ripple effects—ranging from productivity loss and workforce disruption to long-term disability and turnover—make cancer a critical business issue for self-funded plans.

  This session examines how employers can implement scalable, turnkey solutions that address the full cancer journey—from prevention and early detection to survivorship and caregiver support. Discover how aligning clinical, emotional, and workplace resources can simultaneously improve employee experience and deliver measurable ROI through reduced costs and improved workforce stability.
