Changes to PAN grants
In response to the new Medicare Part D reform that will place a cap of $2,000 on prescription out-of-pocket costs for all Medicare Part D drugs starting in 2025, we are adjusting our grant amounts beginning on January 1, 2025.
What you should know
We design our grants to cover 100% of out-of-pocket costs for most patients—and that isn’t changing. We will continue to offer grants that provide enough assistance to pay for 100 percent of the out-of-pocket costs for most patients in each disease fund, regardless of the product, therapy, provider, route of administration, and more.
Grant amount changes will take effect when you apply for a new grant, additional funding, or to renew your grant in 2025. These new grant amounts will be available on our find a disease fund page starting January 1, 2025.
Anyone issued a grant in 2024 will have access to their full, original grant amount until their grant period ends.
Additional funding
Grant amounts are changing based on disease fund, not insurance type. We’re considering all grant amounts and how what you need may change with the new Medicare reforms. We understand that while these reforms will expand access to care for millions of people enrolled in Medicare Part D plans, many will still need assistance—including those enrolled in Medicare Part D and other types of plans such as commercial insurance and Medicare Part B.
For our patients who might need still need some extra support we work hard to make sure additional assistance is available, including:
- Additional funding: Patients, or their healthcare professionals, can apply for additional funding within the same initial 12-month grant eligibility period if they run out of funds and their grant balance is $0.
- FundFinder: You can use FundFinder to sign up for email or text message notifications to learn when financial assistance becomes available at any of the nine charitable patient assistance foundations.
