Helping Patients Every Step of the Way
Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers is dedicated to helping our patients through every step of their cancer journeys. This page contains many of the items patients find helpful, especially as they start their treatment process.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
During your first appointment with your doctor and other members of your care team we will explain your diagnosis and together develop a personalized evidence-based treatment plan to create the best possible outcomes.

Additional Resources for Patients

Genetic Testing
Genetic testing can provide valuable information about gene mutations related to certain types of cancers like breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer. It also provides insight into genes that may put you at more risk of developing cancer.

Telehealth Appointments
Our healthcare practitioners are encouraged to utilize telemedicine when appropriate to replace in-person healthcare visits. Your cancer care provider will determine whether it is appropriate for you to be seen via telemedicine or whether an in-person visit is necessary.

Insurance & Payments
As a community-based provider Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers is able to bill our services cost effectively, resulting in savings for our patients, our payers and employer groups. We accept many types of insurance plans, and we will work with you to ensure you are taken care of

Advance Care Planning
As part of the quality care we deliver, Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers is pleased to offer advance care planning services through The US Oncology Network My Choices, My Wishes® program. This comprehensive program helps you explore and document your healthcare preferences in a supportive environment.

Financial Counseling
We understand that the cost of care and the complexities of medical insurance can be difficult to deal with during this challenging time. Every RMCC patient will meet with a Patient Financial Counselor to guide you through the process and answer questions that may come up related to insurance and payments throughout your treatment journey.

Supportive Care
Specially trained social workers are available to help our patients and their families cope with the physical, emotional, and social disruptions of cancer. They have the expertise to identify and overcome roadblocks that can interfere with treatment outcomes, help with family dynamics, work, and more.

Nutrition in Cancer Care
Enjoying delicious food, savoring flavors and textures, feeling satisfied are some of the pleasures that eating gives us, and cancer doesn’t have to take them away. We highlight some tips on nutrition in cancer before, during, and after treatment to help you eat well - even on days when you're feeling tired or challenged by side effects.
