Financial coach program

A very common concern with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients . 

Below is a new Financial Coach Program available at Healthtree. 
I have seen various team members struggle with financial issues upon diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma especially if they do not have Medicare or effective healthcare resources. You may want to check out Healthtree as they have a new Multiple Myeloma Financial Coach program. You can use your search engine to locate the Healthtree website. I hope this helps you and others on our team.

They offer 1:1 free assistance and resources about things that most of the myeloma community worry about or deal with such as:
Financial assistance for copays or deductibles 
Financial help for travel costs, utilities, or urgent needs 
Rx (prescription) expenses assistance 
Questions about health insurance (including appeals, understanding your insurance) 
Social Security Disability questions 
Understanding FMLA or ADA 
Their goal is to give you the financial tools necessary to help you stay on track in your financial life and not experience financial toxicity. Request the help of a free financial coach today!

I hope this program can help.
