Description
Introducing a brand new Dear Cancer, I'm Beautiful podcast series called, "Your Voice. Your Health!” The first episode of this series titled, "What is Step Therapy and How Does it Affect Cancer Patients?” will provide you with comprehensive information about step therapy and its implications on your treatment choices and outcomes. I didn't even know what step therapy was until recently. These "fail first" policies have become way too common in healthcare insurance plans. They require us to try less expensive medications or treatments before gaining access to the ones that our healthcare providers really want us to have.  I'm so honored to have Dr. Keith Crawford back again to help me kick off this series that will empower you and provide you with valuable tips so you can have the necessary conversations with your doctors to ensure you're getting the care that they really want you to have without having to waste precious time or jump through unnecessary hoops.  Thank you Amgen Oncology for making this special series possible!
