This phase II trial studies how well the DIScussion of COst (DISCO) application (app) works in improving financial outcomes in patients with hematologic cancer. The DISCO app is an electronic, highly scalable and tailorable education and communication intervention that may help researchers learn more about improving how patients and oncologists discuss cancer treatment costs

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
Other: Arm I- Usual care
Patients receive usual care consisting of general cancer treatment information on a sheet of paper before attending video-recorded meetings with their oncologist to discuss treatment plans.
Other: Arm II - DISCO app
Patients use the DISCO education and communication app before attending video-recorded meetings with their oncologist to discuss treatment plans.
Behavioral: - The DISCO App
Patients will receive an individually-tailorable cancer treatment cost education and communication intervention delivered on an iPad just prior to meeting with their oncologist.
Behavioral: - Usual Care
Patients randomized to this arm will receive usual care.
