Finding financial help for myeloma treatment can feel overwhelming, but there are quite a few resources available. As one MyMyelomaTeam member shared, "I finally got a grant that covers my copay, after paying high copays for three years — my oncologist was instrumental in obtaining that."
Here are some great places to start:
- Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation — lists drug manufacturer assistance programs
- Patient Advocate Foundation — helps find financial support and navigate insurance claims
- American Cancer Society — offers guides on understanding medical insurance
- International Myeloma Foundation — covers housing, travel, and drug reimbursement help
- CancerCare — provides copay assistance and transportation cost help
- NeedyMeds — helps find assistance programs by drug or diagnosis
- PhRMA's Medicine Assistance Tool — matches people with medication affordability resources
Drug manufacturers themselves often have copay assistance or charity programs too. It's worth searching the name of your specific medication alongside "patient assistance program" to find options.
Don't overlook your own care team — social workers and financial counselors at hospitals and clinics can be incredibly helpful in pointing you toward support you may not know exists.
