Revolutionizing Support for Cancer Patients and Employers

Osara Health offers an award-winning program designed by oncologists to improve the quality of life for cancer patients. It addresses gaps in holistic support within cancer care, aiming to reduce healthcare costs and empower patients. Research shows that inadequate symptom management contributes to 25% of ER visits and treatment expenses. Through Osara, participants learn behavioral change principles, leading to 32% reporting better symptom management and reduced healthcare costs, especially in pain management.
Cancer remains one of the top two cost burdens for employers nationwide, impacting organizations, their workforce, and financial outcomes in terms of healthcare expenditures and productivity. Additionally, approximately 45% of cancer diagnoses occur during individuals’ working years, with 40% of survivors never returning to work.
Osara Health stands out globally as the sole clinically validated return-to-work intervention for cancer survivors, providing added value to employers nationwide. A recent study published in a peer-reviewed journal revealed that participants are 73% more likely to return to work, with a return occurring 16.5 weeks faster compared to those without access to the program. Furthermore, participants reported enhancements in quality of life and other health metrics through digital support.
This partnership reflects Osara Health’s ongoing commitment to expanding access to its services and assisting more individuals affected by cancer. Having already aided tens of thousands of cancer patients and their families in various regions, this collaboration signifies Osara’s inaugural foray into Group Health and Supplemental Insurance within the United States, enabling them to extend support to a broader audience in need.
Allstate Benefits pioneers in the United States group health insurance sector by offering this unprecedented level of support, aligning with Osara’s growing roster of clients worldwide who recognize the importance of such initiatives.
Osara Health joins Allstate Benefits’ group health products as a differentiated offering for cancer support. “Supporting members in a meaningful way when they are going through a serious health event like cancer is at the core of what we do,” said David Essary, President of Allstate Benefits and Allstate Health Solutions. “We believe our partnership with Osara Health will empower more people affected by cancer to get the medical care and support they need so that they can focus on their path to health and happiness.”
