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.
This program is limited to residents of Washington state.
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.
