Hear from CMO of BCBSA on Rising Cancer Care Costs

 America's National Institute of Health predicts that spending on all cancer treatment assuming a 5 percent annual increase in these costs raises the projection to $207 billion.

Due to an aging population, increased cancer diagnosis, rising cancer care expenses, and a demanding payer market, new strategies need to be addressed for pharmaceutical companies to maintain, commercialize, and increase oncology access in the marketplace. It is imperative to learn from experts who are able to deliver affordable cancer care, while improving quality and bend the cost curve downward

At IIR’s Annual Summit for Oncology Management taking place July 21-23 in Philadelphia, you will hear from Dr. Trent Haywood, MD, JD SVP Office of Clinical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at BlueCross BlueShield Association, a trend-setter in this space. Dr. Haywood will be discussing the so-called “cancer conundrums”, focusing on the current issues and challenges your industry is facing and shed light on some of the successful strategies that have worked for BCBSA.
