Evaluating the Impact of Financial Navigation on Financial Catastrophe and Distress for Cancer Care

"A salaried financial navigator will be hired by the study sites. All responsibilities of the navigator will revolve around the structured financial navigation program. There is currently no research indicating that such a role has been incorporated at cancer centers in sub-Saharan Africa.~Through this program, the financial navigator will educate participants on financial literacy, insurance plans and payment options available through charities and financial assistance programs. In addition to providing financial counseling, the financial navigator will verify participant insurance documents, maintain records of financial agreements, and coordinate payments with insurance companies."
