About this study
This study is a multi-site randomized trial to study the implementation of the CARE Tool and evaluate the CARE Tool. The CARE Tool is a web-based tool that gives people information about cancer care costs, health insurance, and resources to help with costs. Overall, the study aims to help patients with cancer overcome barriers they face navigating insurance and accessing financial resources.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
