2023 Plan Information
Cancer Support Program
A cancer diagnosis can be stressful and overwhelming. If you have Medical Plan coverage administered by Cigna or UHC, the Plan administrators’ Cancer Support Programs can help you during this difficult time. The programs feature a team of highly trained and experienced nurses, social workers and board-certified oncologists who work to ensure you or your loved ones receive the best possible care. When you enroll in the program, you will be referred to Centers of Excellence, high-performing cancer facilities that are noted for obtaining the best outcomes. If you enroll within 60 days of diagnosis, you will also receive higher medical coverage. If you have met your annual deductible, timely use of the Cancer Support Programs ensures that the Plan covers 100% of your cost of treatments and procedures provided by in-network doctors and facilities.
MSK Direct – Guided Cancer Treatment Program
When you are faced with a cancer diagnosis, reliable information and comprehensive care are crucial. As a Morgan Stanley employee, you and your dependents have access to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) – a top hospital for cancer treatment – through MSK Direct, guided cancer treatment program. MSK Direct gives you access to a team of dedicated professionals who specialize in cancer treatment. Experienced nurses, social workers and care advisors will be there to guide you through the process of getting care at MSK, and oversee your experience every step of the way.
