HOW CO-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE FOUNDATIONS HELP

The financial costs associated with cancer are often overwhelming. Even with insurance, most people will have out-of-pocket costs for their medical care. This can include co-payments, medications, transportation and living expenses such as rent/mortgage, utilities, car payment, insurance and food. Co-payment assistance foundations can help.
