In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we put together a list of sources of financial aid for cancer patients in Don’t Let Treatment Put You In Debt: Financial Aid for Breast Cancer Patients. Below is contact information for these organizations.
The Pink Fund has been formed to help women and men suffering from breast cancer focus on healing, raising their families and returning to the workplace.
The American Cancer Society can help with breast cancer-related expenses for transportation, cost-of-living expenses, wigs and more.
CancerCare can help you cover transportation, home care, child care and pain medication while undergoing treatment. To qualify for assistance, you must meet eligibility requirements and share information about your income, savings and expenses. Your doctor must also provide information about your diagnosis.
This national organization assists cancer patients in dealing with financial difficulties associated with the illness. It also runs the Co-Pay Relief Program, which assists insured cancer patients in paying the costs of their prescription co-pays.
Partnership for Prescription Assistance
he Partnership for Prescription Assistance helps qualifying patients without prescription drug coverage get the medicines they need through the program that is right for them. It’s possible to get medications free or nearly free.
