Improving Health Insurance Literacy Among Young Adult Cancer Survivors
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
We will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test a 4-session virtual health insurance navigation intervention that will increase knowledge about health insurance, reduce financial burden, and improve surveillance for recurrence among 300 young adult cancer survivors ages 26 to 39. We will combine self-reported survey data with electronic health records and claims data to examine the trial outcomes and efficacy. We will also conduct an economic evaluation using cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses, to establish the sustainability of the intervention at improving outcomes of young adult survivors through increasing their health insurance knowledge and decreasing their financial burden.

Interventions
CHAT-S
The CHAT-S intervention will include 4 videoconference sessions over a 2-month time period that is delivered by a patient navigator. Session 1 will include content to educate participants about survivorship care and common types of follow-up care required for their specific cancer, as well as, basic insurance terms and concepts. Session 2 will teach participants about their own insurance plan (e.g., coverage, benefits, breakdown of bills, and explanation of benefits) so they can better navigate both the medical and insurance systems. Session 3 reviews health insurance laws (e.g., ACA, FMLA, No Surprises Act) and how to proceed with an appeals process. Session 4 explains how to manage the costs through budgeting and cost-of-care conversations with their medical providers.
Usual Care
Usual care will consist of a resource list that describes organizational and community resources available on insurance, financial burden, and survivorship care. Further, we will track whether participants were referred or engaged in services using the follow-up surveys and via the EHR/claims data.
