Cancer Advocate Plus

During open enrollment this year, we are adding a new voluntary benefit, Cancer Advocate Plus. Champion the fight with this groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind cancer benefit. Cancer Advocate Plus combines financial protection, cancer care, and includes genetic cancer screening to help employees determine their risk for cancer, as well as pharmacogenomic testing to determine their best treatment based on their own DNA.

Additionally, Cancer Advocate Plus provides a dedicated oncology nurse advocate to coordinate clinical trial enrollment, expert medical review, and so much more, including financial protection.

For diagnosis of cancer on or after the effective date of the policy, Cancer Advocate Plus provides the following financial protection:

Upon cancer diagnosis: $5,000 cash payment
6 months after diagnosis: $2,500 cash payment
12 months after diagnosis: $2,500 cash payment

Why consider Cancer Advocate Plus?

To help prevent cancer by understanding hereditary risk
To extend your healthcare team
To access the latest medical advances for cancer diagnosis and treatment
To provide financial protection

There are no health questions during this initial offering to enroll (guaranteed issue). All employees working at least 17.5 hours per week are eligible for the benefit, as well as the employee’s legally married spouse, domestic partner, or civil union partner.

Additionally, representatives from Pierce Insurance Agency will be available to meet with you regarding this new benefit during open enrollment.
