Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness Month: Blood Cancer Society's CoPay Assistance Program

Thursday, September 18, 2008

JC Jones MA RN

September is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Awareness Month. Blood cancers are considered "catastrophic illnesses" in that it is extremely expensive to pay for treatment for them. Until we have health care reform in the US, the society offers a CoPay Assistance Program. Even if you have great insurance coverage - the copays will "kill you" in the event of a catastrophic injury or illness.

Up to $5000 in assistance is available for people whose physician confirms their diagnosis of:

• Hodgkin lymphoma

• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
• Chronic myelogenous leukemia
• Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
• Myeloma
• Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

The society offers assistance with paying for these services:

• Private health insurance premiums
• Private insurance co-pay obligations
• Medicare Part B, Medicare Plan D, Medicare Supplementary Health Insurance and Medicare Advantage premium or co-pay obligations
  
• Private health insurance premiums
• Private insurance co-pay obligations
• Medicare Part B, Medicare Plan D, Medicare Supplementary Health Insurance and Medicare Advantage premium or co-pay obligations
