In an effort to reach patients and caregivers beyond its research studies, CENTS launched the Financial Planning for Cancer program in mid-2018. Through this program, patients or caregivers are matched with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) for free confidential one-on-one meetings to address the costs of cancer treatment.
The patients or caregivers are also matched with a Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF) case manager to work on any health insurance or benefits-related issues. This program is funded by the Foundation for Financial Planning and is supported by the Financial Planning Association.
If you are a cancer patient or a family member/caregiver of a patient, you can sign up for the program by submitting our Financial Planning for Cancer referral form. We will then match you with a planner.
