Patient Assistance Program

The Patient Assistance Program is a resource to support patients like Mohan who need help with certain treatment-related costs.
The program can help with post-treatment costs, such as lodging near the health center, food, drug co-pays and insurance premiums. The Patient Assistance Program can also help cover costs of the search for an unrelated donor or cord blood unit before transplant. Like many patients, Mohan found his insurance did not pay for testing unrelated donors to find the most suitable match. However, through his health center, he received help covering these search costs from the Patient Assistance Program.

The funds from the Patient Assistance Program along with the financial support of the community helped Mohan’s family avoid going deep into debt. Avoiding severe financial hardship gave Mohan more time and energy to focus on regaining his health. At nine months after his treatment, Mark said he was doing well. He was glad to be home with his family, where he was regaining his energy and his appetite. He was also eager to return to work and grateful for the resources that helped his family manage expenses during the long months of his recovery.
