CancerCare is one of a dozen members of the Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition (CFAC), formed in 2007 to provide better access to existing financial resources to help cancer patients cover some of the costs of their treatment. CFAC’s website, www.cancerfac.org, was launched this past May to provide information, contact information and links to organizations that offer financial assistance.
The CancerCare Co-Payment Assistance Foundation, another coalition member, helps cancer patients with health insurance cover the cost of their co-pays for treatment. The Foundation currently provides assistance for 6 diagnoses; additional cancer types will be added as more funding becomes available. Visit www.cancercarecopay.org for more information.
