The Oncology Risk Management Programme is specifically designed to effectively manage cancer patients. The primary function of the Programme is to pre-authorise oncology treatment and to interact with oncologists regarding treatment plans for cancer patients. The ultimate objective is to ensure that patients receive the care they require and to optimise the oncology expenditure according to members' available benefits. The Programme includes member education, the promotion of wellness and pre-authorisation which grants access to medicine and hospital benefits.
