What You Should Know:
– Color Health, a leader in comprehensive cancer care, and Carrum Health, known for their value-based cancer treatment programs form a startegic partnership to offer employers an end-to-end cancer program.
– By providing a seamless, cost-effective, and patient-centric experience, the end-to-end cancer program empowers employers to combat rising cancer rates and improve the overall health and well-being of their workforce.
The Deadly Reality of Cancer
The American Cancer Society estimates over 2 million new cancer diagnoses in 2024 alone. With cancer incidence and costs steadily rising, employers are increasingly seeking solutions to support their workforce through this devastating disease. While various cancer-related point solutions exist, a holistic approach is often lacking.
A Seamless Continuum of Care for Employees
This integrated program by Color and Carrum addresses this gap by establishing a true continuum-of-care model. Here’s a breakdown of the program’s benefits:
- Comprehensive Cancer Services: Color Health offers a full spectrum of cancer services, including Color Medical, a nationwide clinician practice. This team manages care from pre-diagnosis screenings and prevention through treatment and survivorship.
- Rigorously Vetted Care Network: Carrum Health brings its expertise in connecting patients with top-tier cancer specialists. Their Centers of Excellence (COE) network boasts the market’s leading value-based payment solution, ensuring cost-effective, evidence-based care.
- Empowering Employers and Employees: The program empowers employers to take control of cancer-related costs through direct savings while offering employees a seamless and high-quality care experience.
A Streamlined Experience with Proven Results
Clients who choose both Color and Carrum benefit from a streamlined approach. Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic provides holistic cancer management from diagnosis to treatment. The program seamlessly refers eligible employees to Carrum, where dedicated care navigators connect them to exceptional specialists within the COE network.
Furthermore, Carrum’s value-based cancer treatment programs incentivize high-quality care delivery. This results in cost savings of up to 20% per episode, eliminating surprise bills for employees.
“Cancer is the number one driver of employer healthcare costs today. Most solutions only support patients post-diagnosis, when it becomes more challenging to impact both survival and financial outcomes,” said Othman Laraki, CEO of Color Health. “Color’s Virtual Clinic starts by driving a 20% increase in employee engagement by emphasizing better education and awareness of early detection while ensuring navigation support from diagnosis through survivorship. Carrum’s unique solution with treatment bundles at true Centers of Excellence are an important complement to Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic. Together, we will drive a greater impact on outcomes and rising costs for employers.”
