Create personal screening plans to ensure early detection – based on American Cancer Society guidelines

Bring screenings to members – at home, onsite, or through our national imaging network relationships

Manage clinical next steps after abnormal screens to control costs and speed time to resolution

Improve treatment

Complement your existing care management delivery model with Color’s oncologist-led, accessible care.

Tackle financial toxicity with advocacy and innovative reimbursement accounts

Provide 24/7 oncologist clinical support to reduce emergency visits

Integrate with and route to existing benefits, such as post-diagnosis support or physical therapy

Transition back to health

Survivorship care minimizes recurrence risk and supports members with their ongoing clinical needs.

Provide personal nutrition plans and lifestyle interventions to reduce risk

“It’s a win-win situation because from a Fund perspective, you’re looking at catching something early. So, you’re looking at savings there. And from a member’s perspective, you’re looking at catching something early and increasing your survival rate.
