Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Safety net care coordination programs play a crucial role in healthcare access.
  • The extent of oncologic service provision by these programs is largely unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the availability of oncologic services within Project Access safety net care coordination programs.
  • To identify barriers to providing cancer care in these settings.

Main Methods:

  • Information on program services and eligibility was gathered from websites and direct contact.
  • Interviews with program directors were conducted to identify barriers for programs not offering oncology care.

Main Results:

  • Of 29 programs surveyed across 22 states, 62% offered oncologic services.
  • Programs in non-Medicaid-expansion states were more prevalent.
  • Free chemotherapy was offered by 83% of programs with oncology services; 93% offered oncologic imaging.
  • Identified barriers included cost, continuity of care, and physician buy-in.

Conclusions:

  • Third-party care coordination centers represent a potential avenue for enhancing oncology service access.
  • Strategies are needed to address the identified barriers and increase the availability of cancer care services.
