Frequently Asked Questions

How can I afford cancer medication without insurance?

Nearly every major cancer drug manufacturer offers a patient assistance program that provides free medication to uninsured patients who meet income requirements. Ask your oncologist about manufacturer PAPs for your specific medication.

What foundations help with cancer drug copays?

The Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF), PAN Foundation, HealthWell Foundation, and CancerCare all offer copay assistance for cancer patients with insurance. Eligibility and available funds vary by diagnosis and program.
