Cancer Screening Benefits for Employers

Additional benefits of cancer screening for self-insured employers

• Cancer Screening Reduces Medical Leave: Cancers detected early usually require less extensive medical treatment and far fewer days away from work

• Cancer Screening Increases Employee Satisfaction: Providing the highest quality, personalized, preventative healthcare is highly valued by employees

According to a recent C-Change publication,

"For employers both big and small, offering benefits and opportunities to their workforces to take preventive measures not only can prevent cancer from occurring, lower risk among high-risk populations, and catch cancer early when effective treatment is still available, but it can save them money. Employers can do something today that will benefit them and their workforces into the future."
