FAQs
Does insurance cover cancer treatment?
Most health insurance plans cover cancer care, including visits with an oncologist, diagnostic testing and treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Coverage details can vary based on your plan and provider network. Before your appointment, our team at (209) 467-6560 can help review insurance coverage, explain benefits and answer questions so you can focus on your care.
Do I need to see an oncologist in California?
Referral requirements depend on your health insurance plan. Some insurance plans in California require a referral from a primary care doctor, while others allow you to schedule an oncology appointment directly. It’s important to check with your insurance provider before your visit. Our cancer care team at (209) 467-6560 can also help with referral questions, insurance verification and appointment scheduling.
What is the Patient Medication Assistance Program (PMAP)?
Our Patient Medication Assistance Program (PMAP) connects patients with a liaison for support with high-cost infusion medications. We help patients find and enroll in manufacturer medication assistance programs, such as copay assistance, when available.
