Cancer Support
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are working with Iris by OncoHealth® to provide support for your employees affected by cancer. Cancer Support is embedded for all fully-insured customers and available as a buy-up for self-insured customers.
How cancer impacts your workplace
Cancer is a difficult disease to navigate, emotionally and physically. Our Cancer Support solution is an opportunity for you to provide more help to your employees and their families during a critical time.
How it works
Cancer Support is a program that uses OncoHealth's virtual platform, Iris. This platform provides on-demand access to cancer experts, information and clinical and emotional support.
Adding Cancer Support to your health plan provides your employees and their families with:
- A personalized virtual support system
- Access to side effect and symptom management tools
- Improved emotional health and coping skills
Cancer Support doesn’t replace or interfere with care from established care teams and doctors. It complements them by providing immediate access to educational information and resources that cancer patients often need between appointments and treatment.
Key features of the Cancer Support program
Employees and family members on their plan - who are survivors, newly diagnosed, in treatment or caregivers - get full access to virtual care through an app or by phone at no cost.
Personalized virtual nurse care
Oncology experts available via chat or phone whenever you need them.
Oncology-specific mental health care
Professionals are available by appointment to help with behavioral health challenges.
A network of peer mentors
Skilled mentors provide emotional support and help employees through their cancer journey.
