Chronic Disease Fund Online
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on July 22nd, 2009 in Extras, Linked Articles, Medications.
It is estimated that more than 30 percent of insured patients with chronic illness cannot afford the co-payments for their medications, which can range from $300 to more than $3,000 per month. Most of these patients are ineligible for other patient assistance programs, forcing many of them to do without.
The Chronic Disease Fund is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to these underinsured individuals so that they can continue to take their much-needed medications and improve their quality of life.
Visit the Chronic Disease Fund’s website to learn more about what they do — and what you can do to help. The CDF is now on Facebook and Twitter, too!
