Today, Patient Advocate Foundation, following the March 3 announcement of a strategic merger with PAN Foundation, has launched TotalAssist, combining the strengths of both organizations to create a single, unified financial assistance program. TotalAssist is designed to remove barriers for underinsured patients to help them start treatment and remain compliant with their prescribed treatment regimen.
With nearly 150 disease-specific and health equity financial assistance funds, TotalAssist supports eligible patients across a wide range of conditions—from cancer and rare diseases to chronic and complex illnesses. Through these disease-specific funds, TotalAssist helps patients pay for their eligible out-of-pocket healthcare costs, including:
- Medication, copays, coinsurance, and deductibles
- Health insurance premiums
- Office visit charges the day of treatment
- Administration charges related to treatment
