Our organization partners extensively with other programs and services to assist callers in accessing additional services to enable access to treatment. Direct financial assistance is provided for living expenses and out-of-pocket medical expenses for breast cancer patients in financial distress. Financial assistance categories most often include housing (rent/mortgage), transportation, food, utilities, medications, medical copayments, medical share of cost, and insurance premiums. Following intake and needs assessment for financial assistance, clients submit an application, intake survey and verification of expenses as needed, such as housing lease agreement, utility bill, paycheck stubs for health insurance premiums, pharmacy receipts and account statements from physician offices for co-payment amounts. Payments are made directly to financial assistance clients' creditors, payees, and landlords.
