MSCI has partnered with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) to offer MSK Direct, a unique program that provides guided access to exceptional cancer treatment for MSCI employees and their family members by contacting an MSK Care Advisor directly at (844) 506-0589 Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET.
The MSK Direct benefit allows all US employees and their families the ability to obtain assistance with the following:
- Scheduling an initial appointment at MSK, usually within two business days;
- Help in gathering the necessary medical records for the initial appointment;
- Meeting patients at their initial appointment to provide support, logistical assistance, and introductions to members of the patient’s clinical team;
- Recommending a local facility for those who live far from MSK and prefer to be treated closer to home; and
- Facilitating remote second opinions for those who are unable to travel to MSK (out-of-pocket fees apply).
Under this partnership, you will now have access to a team from one of the top hospitals for cancer care in the country, including experienced nurses, social workers and care advisors who can provide practical and emotional support as needed.
You do not need to live near an MSK facility to get care! For remote care close to home, MSK doctors and nurses will collaborate with your local doctors to provide a comprehensive diagnosis from pathologists and radiologists specialized in your specific type of cancer, based on tissue samples, original imaging, and genetic testing (when clinically appropriate), recommend the best hospitals close to where you live, using a proprietary tool only available from MSK, develop a treatment plan informed by a multidisciplinary team, that may include subspecialized MSK medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, provide education and support to help identify clinical trials that could open up new treatment options, provide expert care through phone or video consultations between you, your MSK doctors, and your local doctors at key decision points in your care.
Eligibility is automatic and there is no additional charge to use the MSK Direct guided access program regardless of your medical plan enrollment with MSCI or if you are enrolled in a spouse’s plan. However, you are still responsible for standard out-of-pocket costs (i.e. co-pays, deductibles and coinsurance) based on your health plan enrollment. You should contact your health plan to determine your coverage for care at MSK.
Caring for your family while you are at work can often be a challenge. Whether it's after-school care, caring for a child who is home ill or the responsibility for aging parents, sometimes you need additional support, even at a moment's notice. MSCI knows that life can be unpredictable, so to help alleviate life's unexpected challenges, we have benefits through Care@Work to support a productive work-life balance for our employees.
In addition to backup care for children and adults, you can use Care.com to find care and help for pets yourself and your household! Use Care.com even outside of work hours to find dog walkers, sitters & groomers, personal assistants, house cleaners, tutors, transportation assistance and so much more!
Families with children who have special needs can use Backup Care when their regular care is not available. Special needs in-home backup child caregivers must provide a reference that substantiates their specific experience or training with special needs. They may also provide proof that they have successfully completed training and/or have a certificate of completion. Care.com tracks the type of special needs experience each caregiver has in our fulfillment database so that we can match a parent's request to a caregiver with these specialized skillsets.
