3. I am currently under cancer treatment, but not at Kelsey-Seybold. Will I be able to continue with my current treatment and current providers if I join the Kelsey-Seybold Greater Houston Plan?
   Every patient's individual diagnosis and treatment plan is evaluated with the goal of delivering care that is in the patient's long-term best interests. Once enrolled in the Kelsey-Seybold Greater Houston Plan, you will need to complete a Transition of Care form and Kelsey-Seybold will work with your current treating physician to transition your care into a Kelsey-Seybold care team. Patient care, continuity, and safety are paramount in this process. The Kelsey-Seybold Cancer Center is nationally accredited, meaning its doctors and staff follow national treatment guidelines which are considered the Standard of Care for cancer treatment.
   
   
4. Do I have to meet my deductible before the 100% coverage takes effect?
   No. You do not have to meet a deductible, but enrollment is required to receive 100% coverage. The 100% coverage is available on the first day of coverage, with no deductibles or payment needed. To enroll, call the Kelsey-Seybold Concierge Team at 1-844-729-1219.
