Making a Difference Through Cancer Advocacy in the Workplace.
We recognize the importance of a healthy workforce and offer corporate guidance and advocacy services that extend from understanding the opportunities noted within claims data and employee cancer care experience to the promotion of cancer awareness, early detection to early intervention to guide and support team members living with cancer.
“Went into the hospital in the middle of the night with pain and during his work up, we received a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear: “It’s cancer”. We were initially shocked, but I have a background in healthcare, so I immediately went into “provider” mode. It was my coping mechanism and helped kept me going during the next few months. I scheduled us an appointment with our local Cancer Center and over the next week while we waited for the appointment, I received a phone call from nurse representative from my husband’s employer. She told me that our insurance covers a service for a company called “Beacon Advocates” and would I be interested in getting them involved? I said sure. At this point, being so early on in our journey, I was willing and wanting to take all the assistance I could get.
Shortly thereafter, our nurse from Beacon Advocates, reached out to me and we set up a zoom intake meeting. We had our initial intake meeting and because my husband was heavily medicated due to pain, I became the one who oversaw scheduling all his appointments, medications, and in general making sure he got to where he needed to be. Our Beacon nurse came along side me and walked with me during this journey. Since neither my husband or I had been down the cancer road before, she was there to give guidance and direction. She was my sounding board when I had questions or just needed to vent, she was MY advocate when I couldn’t get a response from other medical personnel and would make phone calls on my (and my husband’s) behalf and in general helped gather and organize medical records. Our nurse was there for me all the time. I would text her at 5 in the morning and she would respond quickly. She not only made sure my husband was getting the care that that he needed, but she checked in on me, asking how I was doing as the caregiver and offering support and encouragement as needed.
I am so thankful our insurance company has partnered with Beacon Advocates to assist those who are given the dreaded cancer diagnosis. It is such a blessing knowing you have a medically educated and experienced person in your corner helping and fighting for you and your loved one. Things have settled down with my husband currently and we have decided to put Beacon Advocates’ services on “hold” so that if or when we need assistance later in the year, we can utilize Beacon. Even with the services on hold, our nurse has reached out to me wanting to know we are doing okay. We are not just a number to Beacon Advocates, we are family. I know that when we need her again, she will there for us, ready to help any way she can.”
We help employers optimize their health benefits by educating and guiding employees to earlier cancer screenings to encourage earlier detection while compassionately advising employees toward getting the right support at the right time.
We combine our oncology expertise, knowledge of the healthcare system and overall industry to support our employer partnerships to deliver high-quality care and outcomes.
By delivering the right cancer care navigation and supports, our targeted interventions have been shown to reduce the total cost of care.
Escalating cancer healthcare costs burden both employers and employees with intricate treatment choices in a complex system.
Companies want to control costs while offering evidence-based treatments. For employees with cancer, navigating disease complexities, treatment options, work, and life is overwhelming. Businesses need a trusted advisor to bridge the gap between confusion and confidence. That’s where Beacon Advocates come in.
Together, we can empower employees and transform lives because a happy, healthy workforce enhances business success.
We help employers analyze and understand their cancer population, spend and trends, identifying cost mitigation strategies as part of their savings opportunity forecast.
Together, we’ll build a health plan that integrates into existing processes, teams, and network to meet the specific needs of the business and its employees.
We will begin supporting the coordination of patient-centered cancer support to employees, educating them on the benefits of cancer screening, early detection guidance, and personalized expert cancer care guidance and advocacy.
We recognize the importance of a healthy workforce and offer specialized cancer care advocacy services that extend from promoting early cancer detection awareness to guiding and supporting employees and their family members diagnosed with cancer.
Together, we navigate your healthcare challenges, devise a strategic path forward, and create solutions that pave the way for the most promising outcomes.
