Assessment of Parking Fees at National Cancer Institute–Designated Cancer Treatment Centers

Abstract

The economic and personal distress resulting from the costs of cancer treatment has been referred to as financial toxicity. Nonmedical costs such as travel expenses are almost never reimbursed by insurance and can be a substantial out-of-pocket expense. This cross-sectional study aims to report parking fees at National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer treatment centers and to assess parking costs for the treatment duration of certain cancers.
