During a tumultuous time in members’ lives, we know how important it is to provide virtual, expert assistance as quickly as possible.
Cancer Expert Now is offering access to our state-of-the-art virtual Expert Medical Opinion (EMO) service for members of plans enrolled in the Contigo Health ECEN Passport™ product, a multi-service line centers of excellence offering. Cancer Expert Now aims to empower members to make more informed decisions throughout their cancer journey by providing them with access to top tier experts from home.
“Our mission is a personal one, because cancer is personal. We hope to provide families with the opportunity to get rapid expert input in any cancer type they may be facing, so they can make informed, confident decisions about their path,” said Jeff Meehan, CEO and Co-Founder of Cancer Expert Now. “The experts we have in our network are many of the people that are considered ‘thought leaders’ in the type of cancer they treat. They specialize in one type of cancer and are often the ones that other doctors look to for information and guidance,” said Dr. Sanjiv Agarwala, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Cancer Expert Now.
“We are excited to partner with Cancer Expert Now to offer our self-funded health plan clients and their members access to cancer experts from the comfort of their own homes, in addition to robust in-person evaluation at our ECEN partner medical centers,” said Marisa Boevers, Vice President of Product Development and Design at Contigo Health. “Cancer Expert Now is enabling us to achieve our goal of meeting members where they are in their cancer journey and support them in ways that help guide them to the right care,” said Steven Nelson, President of Contigo Health.
