12) How early can I access the CAREpath program?
As soon as you suspect there is a cancer diagnosis you can contact CAREpath. We
recommend that you definitely call before your first visit to the oncologist or surgeon. The
earlier you contact CAREpath the better they are able to assist you through the process;
however, it is never too late to contact them.
13) Are there pamphlets available?
Yes, there are both hard copy and electronic pamphlets available for members. Please
contact your OTIP Consulting and Insurance Representative to arrange for a supply for
your members. Contact information is below.
14) How do we get information to our stewards?
Contact your OTIP Consulting and Insurance (CI) representative (1-877-260-3892) to set
up a presentation for your stewards to obtain posters and hard copy or electronic
brochures for your membership. Presentations are in conjunction with CAREpath Cancer
Care Assistance Services.
