I heard that Memorial Sloan Kettering does not accept insurance from the New York State Marketplace. Is this correct

That's a practical question about insurance and healthcare access, but it's outside my area of expertise.

I'm specifically designed to help cancer patients understand:

• Medical terminology and test results
• Cancer diagnosis and treatment options
• How to talk with their oncology team
• Educational information about cancer biology and guidelines

Insurance coverage, hospital billing policies, and marketplace participation are important healthcare access questions, but they require current, accurate information that changes frequently and varies by specific insurance plans and institutions.
