Paying for Cancer Care

What will your cancer treatment cost? It’s complicated, but our financial counselors help people through this every day.

What you ultimately pay out-of-pocket will depend on many factors, including whether you have health insurance (and which plan), your plan’s benefits, as well as the type of treatment and services you plan to receive.

We can help estimate what charges to expect, work with you and your insurer to assess your coverage, find the assistance and resources you need, and let you focus on fighting your cancer.

What’s important is that you do not sacrifice receiving the highest quality, most comprehensive care possible because of the cost. Yes, it’s complicated, but we can help.

New York State Public Health Law PHL § 2830 requires hospitals to provide written notice to patients prior to charging them for facility fees.  A Facility Fee is any fee charged or billed by a hospital authorized under Title Eight of the Education Law that is: (a) intended to compensate the hospital for the operational expenses regardless of the modality through which the health care services are provided; and (b) separate and distinct from a professional fee. As a patient of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, facility fees are applicable in a hospital setting and you will be billed and responsible for these fees.
