Providing Access to the Very Best

提供最佳的访问

For over a decade, Walmart’s Cancer COE program has helped bridge gaps and provide Walmart associates access to the cancer experts at Mayo Clinic. Before now, the program centered around some of the most prevalent cancers – breast, lung, colon, prostate, pancreatic and blood cancers. By expanding the Walmart Cancer COE program, associates and dependents on eligible Walmart medical plans can now access the same great benefit for virtually any cancer..

十多年来，沃尔玛的癌症COE计划帮助弥合了差距，并为沃尔玛员工提供了与梅奥诊所癌症专家的联系。此前，该项目主要针对一些最常见的癌症——乳腺癌、肺癌、结肠癌、前列腺癌、胰腺癌和血癌。通过扩大沃尔玛癌症COE计划，符合条件的沃尔玛医疗计划的员工和家属现在可以为几乎任何癌症获得同样的巨大益处。。

“We are thrilled to expand our longstanding relationship with Walmart, now providing a Centers of Excellence program for their associates that includes virtually all cancer types,” said Lyell K. Jones, Jr., MD, consultant and professor of neurology at Mayo Clinic and Medical Director of Contracting and Payer Relations.

梅奥诊所（Mayo Clinic）神经病学顾问兼教授、合同和付款人关系医学主任莱尔·琼斯（Lyell K.Jones，Jr.）医学博士说：“我们很高兴扩大与沃尔玛的长期关系，现在为他们的合作伙伴提供了一个卓越中心计划，几乎包括所有类型的癌症。”。

“In working directly with employers like Walmart, we can remove barriers to high-quality care and deliver the best possible outcomes to more patients every day.”.

“通过与沃尔玛等雇主直接合作，我们可以消除高质量护理的障碍，每天为更多患者提供尽可能好的结果。”。

How Walmart’s Cancer COE Program Works

沃尔玛的癌症COE计划是如何运作的

Once a Walmart associate or their eligible dependent has been diagnosed with cancer and has a recommended treatment plan from their local provider, they can begin the Walmart Cancer COE process offered through their eligible Walmart medical plan. Mayo Clinic will review the patient’s medical records, including diagnosis and treatment plan.

一旦沃尔玛员工或其符合条件的家属被诊断出患有癌症，并从当地提供者那里获得了推荐的治疗计划，他们就可以开始通过其符合条件的沃尔玛医疗计划提供的沃尔玛癌症COE流程。梅奥诊所将审查患者的病历，包括诊断和治疗计划。

If the cancer experts at Mayo Clinic can offer new or different treatment options than what is available or offered locally, they will recommend the patient travel to Mayo Clinic. The record review, travel and on-site care at Mayo Clinic come at no cost to the associate. Covered travel includes the cost of airline, hotel and food for the patient and one adult caregiver when traveling to a Mayo Clinic.

如果梅奥诊所的癌症专家可以提供新的或不同于当地现有或提供的治疗选择，他们将建议患者前往梅奥诊所。梅奥诊所的记录审查、旅行和现场护理对员工来说是免费的。受保旅行包括患者和一名成年护理人员前往梅奥诊所时的机票、酒店和食物费用。

Deductible and coinsurance apply to cancer care received outside of Mayo Clinic..

免赔额和共同保险适用于梅奥诊所以外接受的癌症护理。。

“Nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our associates and their families,” Lupo said. “While we hope they never need to use the Walmart Cancer Centers of Excellence benefit, we want them to feel reassured that, if that moment comes, access to top-quality support is available and accessible.”.

卢波说：“没有什么比我们的同事及其家人的健康和福祉更重要的了。”。“虽然我们希望他们永远不需要使用沃尔玛卓越癌症中心福利，但我们希望他们放心，如果那一刻到来，他们可以获得高质量的支持。”。
