Tips for finding experts
Knowledgeable experts
When choosing experts or specialists, ask the following questions.
- Do they have experience managing people with your mutation or condition?
- Do they have the right equipment and protocols for your situation?
- Ask for referrals from trusted doctors, friends and family who understand or share your situation.
In- or out-of-network
Some specialists may not be part of your health plan's network, meaning you may have to pay more for care. If your health plan has no in-network experts with the training you need, contact them to learn next steps. If they deny coverage for expert care, ask your doctor's office staff to help you appeal their decision.
Primary care doctors
Your primary care doctor can help. Some health plans need prior approval or a referral from a primary care doctor before covering the cost of specialty care.
Comprehensive cancer centers
These centers offer multiple services, clinical trials and specialists within the same facility or hospital system.
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Centers deliver cutting-edge cancer treatments to patients across the United States.
