Yes, there are quite a few financial assistance programs available for myeloma treatment costs. Here's a breakdown of the main options:
Insurance & Government Programs
- Medicare, Medicaid, or Veterans Affairs health care
- Medicare Savings Programs and Medicare Extra Help
- State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs
Nonprofit Organizations
- Patient Advocate Foundation
- HealthWell Foundation
- Patient Access Network Foundation
- Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (Patient Aid Program)

Some specific programs include:
- VELCADE Reimbursement Assistance Program (for bortezomib)
- Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation (for Revlimid)
- Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Foundation (for Darzalex)
Many other manufacturers offer similar copay assistance or charity-based programs. A MyMyelomaTeam member shared that after three years of high copays, they finally received a grant to cover costs — with their oncologist playing a key role in securing it. So don't hesitate to loop in your care team, as they can often connect you with a social worker or financial counselor who knows exactly what's available.
