Summary

This is a test of an existing health insurance education program (HIEP) in adolescent and young adult (AYA) individuals (aged 18-39) diagnosed with cancer. The study will evaluate whether the HIEP delivered by patient navigators improves participants' health insurance and cost-related literacy compared to usual navigation care, which does not include education on insurance and medical costs. The study team hypothesizes that: The HIEP will improve participants' health insurance and cost-related literacy compared to usual navigation care. Specifically, that participants in the intervention arm will report greater 1) health insurance and cost literacy, including confidence with provider communication about costs, 2) familiarity with ACA policies, and 3) improvement in financial distress related to medical costs. Participants will fill out a survey upon enrollment and a follow up survey 3 months after meeting with a patient navigator where they may or may not receive the HIEP.
