Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PAN Foundation work?

PAN provides grants to cover prescription copays and out-of-pocket costs for patients with specific diseases. You apply when a fund for your condition is open, and if approved, PAN pays your pharmacy directly for qualified copays.

Do I need insurance to use PAN Foundation?

Yes, PAN Foundation assists insured patients with copays. If you are uninsured, you should apply directly to the drug manufacturer's patient assistance program instead.

What if my disease fund is closed?

PAN funds open and close based on available funding. Sign up for email alerts on panfoundation.org to be notified when your fund reopens. In the meantime, check other foundations like HealthWell, PANF, and CancerCare.
