Financial Compass is a new support program designed to help head and neck cancer patients manage the financial stress that often comes with cancer treatment. This pilot study will test whether the program helps patients identify their financial concerns and connect them with resources and support. Half of participants will receive the Financial Compass program with personalized navigation and support, while the other half will receive usual medical care.
Cancer treatment can create serious financial hardship for patients and families. Many people don't know what financial resources are available to help them, and doctors don't always have time to help patients find support. This trial aims to see if a dedicated program can make it easier for patients to get the financial help they need.

You will first fill out a screening questionnaire about your financial concerns. If you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the Financial Compass program or usual care. If you receive Financial Compass, you'll have a needs assessment, a personalized plan to access financial resources, and weekly support calls with a navigator to help you find and access help. All participants will have a follow-up visit at 12 weeks to see how they're doing.
