During this discussion, panelists from HealthWell, @TriageCancer, @HealthcareAdvocateSummit, and @AARP will explore best practices and resources to support caregivers in maintaining their own health and well-being.

For many patients living with a chronic or life-altering illness, the cost of accessing and staying on prescribed medical treatments can be overwhelming. Financial toxicity is a growing concern affecting patients, providers, family members, caregivers, and advocates.

Navigating the complexities of a chronic or life-altering illness can be challenging for patients, families, advocates, providers, and anyone involved in their health care journey. Charitable patient assistance programs (CPAPs) play a vital role in helping patients access and maintain life-changing, potentially lifesaving, medical treatments. Working compliantly with CPAPs is a critical step in ensuring patients have access to financial, educational, and supportive resources.
During this session, CPAP representatives from HealthWell, @cancercareus, @accessiahealth, and @patient_advocates will share available resources, best practices for navigating and enrolling in their programs compliantly, and insights on how CPAPs work together to assist patients in achieving better health outcomes.

Individuals living with behavioral health issues, such as anxiety, depression and schizophrenia, often face significant challenges in finding appropriate services and providers. Access and affordability are critical factors in this struggle. Many patients even avoid seeking treatment due to the stigma surrounding their conditions. Identifying unmet behavioral health needs for both patients and caregivers is crucial to breaking down barriers to care.
Join us at @HealthcareAdvocateSummit for our "Behavioral Health Services - Patient Challenges in Accessing and Affording Care" panel session. In this discussion, panelists from HealthWell, @thereachinstitute, @mentalhealthamerica, and Correct RX will share valuable resources to help patients access and maintain prescribed behavioral health treatments.
