Proactive coverage for medically necessary oral health services can:

-Reduce post‐treatment disability caused by cancer or cancer treatment side effects.
-Improve cancer survivors’ lifetime earnings by increasing their ability to afford treatments that allow them to return to work without diminished productivity.
-Reduce debilitating out-of-pocket expenses related to cancer treatment for cancer survivors, their families, and the everyday taxpayer.
-Reduce private-payer and state‐funded insurance costs for health care services associated with cancer treatment complications and the long‐term costs of chronic disease management.
