If you have suggestions or additional resources to share, please complete this short survey.
The Assistance Fund
The Assistance Fund is an independent charitable patient assistance fund that helps patients facing high out-of-pocket costs with co-pays, coinsurance, deductibles, and other health-related expenses. They cover over 70 diseases, and each disease state covers all the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) treatments available.
Eligibility requirements include:
- U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- Diagnosis for the disease for which you are applying
- Prescribed an FDA-approved treatment for the disease
- Have current prescription coverage for the prescribed treatment
- Meet financial eligibility criteria based upon household income and size
The PAN Foundation
The Patient Access Network Foundation acknowledges that the inability to pay for essential medical care is not just a significant problem for the uninsured, but also for many people who have health insurance. Rising premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and coinsurance prevent many people from being able to afford the necessary treatment they need. Once approved, the PAN Foundation pays for up to one year of treatment with options for renewal.
The PAN Foundation also has a FundFinder App to help track patient assistance funds. The App will automatically alert you when funding becomes available.
Prescription (RX) Assistance
RxAssist offers a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, as well as practical tools, news, and articles so that health care professionals and patients can find the information they need all in one place.
