Covering the High Costs of Cancer is Good...
​
Beating Cancer is Better!
Many advancements in cancer treatment are not covered by traditional health insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare.
One of those advancements is...
Genome Sequencing
...which can now be covered by insurance
What is Genome Sequencing?
A Genome is all your DNA. DNA is lifes blueprint, a set of instructions which determine the characteristics of every living thing.
Sequencing your DNA gives us information on a genetic level to tailor and customize a treatment plan specifically designed for you.
How Genome Sequencing is used in Cancer Treatment
Identifies whether considered drugs can support your own immune system's ability to fight cancer.
Makes medicine more rational, personal, and precise by identifying molecular targets before treating the cancer.
Allows the oncologist to match each patient with the best treatment based upon the underlying biology of your specific cancer.
Analyzes tumor "fringerprint"to see if other therapies have worked well before.
How does genome sequencing work?
1
Should you be diagnosed with cancer, a biopsy is taken of your tumor. Tumor tissue and blood are isolated and extracted and your DNA is sequenced.
2
The abnormalities are analyzed to determine whether they match known mutations that may have responded to particular therapies and may uncover a potential treatment option not previously considered.
3
Using highly sophisticated equipment, the sequenced genetic profile is scanned for abnormalities that dictate the tumor functions.
4
If there's a match, doctors may be able to use the findings to suggest specific treatments that have been used in the past to target the same mutation.
Is it affordable?

Who does the sequencing?
Tgen, the Translational Genomics Research Institute, is an affiliate of City of Hope, a cancer hospital, and is a nonprofit medical research institute.
TGen physicians will work one-on-one with you and your physician to:
​
-
Help you understand your sequence results
-
Review your treatment options
-
Give your oncologist information to help you recover
What makes TGen genome sequencing stand apart?
TGen provides one-on-one consultations to explain sequencing results and treatment options
TGen is known through out the county for their ground-breaking research and advanced technology
TGen looks at 19,000 genes vs average of 400 genes for competitors
TGen is a nonprofit organization
Hypothetical Situation
Meet Joe
Age 58
TGen's world renowned genomic sequencing tests analyse 19,000 genes to unravel the genetic composition of joes tumor
Joe files a claim
Most Cancer policies stop here
Joe buys a Precision Care Policy with TGen genomic sequencing benefits
Joe is later diagnosed with cancer
Upon approval Joe is paid his lump sum benefit
Joe's cancer insurance policy pays TGen for the genomic sequencing tests and physician consultations.
TGen contacts Joe's oncologist to coordinate biopsy shipment and genomic sequencing at TGen's laboratories.
Joe and his oncologist now have the best information they can use to decide the best course of treatment specifically for him.
TGen oncology experts explain the results to Joe and his oncologist and provide treatment recommendations based on his unique markers in his tumor and healthy cells.
Precision Care keeps going!
