Helping Cancer Patients Reach the Care They Need
Traveling to and from cancer treatment can create additional stress for patients and families. Transportation costs, distance, and limited access to reliable transportation can make it difficult to attend important medical appointments.
Cancer Services Network provides cancer patient transportation assistance to help eligible individuals access the care they need without worrying about transportation barriers.
Our transportation support helps patients travel to cancer-related appointments, treatment sessions, and medical services throughout our service area. By reducing travel challenges, we help patients focus more on their health, recovery, and overall well-being.
Gas Reimbursement for Cancer-Related Care
Cancer Services Network may provide gas reimbursement to eligible clients traveling to qualifying cancer-related treatment, doctor visits, scans, and imaging appointments.
Reimbursement is provided after the appointment has taken place and the visit has been verified with the medical provider.
Help With the Cost of Traveling to Cancer Care
Frequent treatment appointments can add significant travel expenses for patients and families. Cancer Services Network may help eligible clients with gas reimbursement for certain verified cancer-related appointments.
