Patient Financial Toxicity Cancer Aware

It’s estimated that one in three Americans experience medical cost distress, and many fear the high cost of debt will leave them financially destitute. As a result, many may decline needed treatments or therapies.
Here to address this issue is Dr. Mark Fendrick, Professor of Internal Medicine and Professor of Health Management and Policy in the U-M School of Public Health.
Dr. Fendrick directs the Value-Based Insurance Design Center at the University of Michigan and his research focuses on how clinician payment and consumer engagement initiatives impact access to care, quality of care, and health care costs.
