Walmart Expands Cancer Treatment Options for Employees with Mayo Clinic Partnership

Employees and dependents can now access a broader range of cancer treatments, including second opinions and specialized care at Mayo Clinic facilities.

  • Walmart's insurance coverage now includes expanded cancer treatment options for employees and their dependents.
  • The partnership with Mayo Clinic allows for second opinions and potential travel to Mayo Clinic locations for specialized treatment.
  • Previously covered cancers included breast, lung, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and blood cancers; the expansion now includes most other types.
  • Skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and localized melanoma are excluded as they can be treated locally.
  • This move reflects a broader trend among employers to connect employees with high-quality care and manage rising healthcare costs.
