Programs: Every day, the PAN Foundation helps thousands of people living with life-threatening, chronic and rare diseases who have health insurance, but are unable to afford the out-of-pocket costs associated with their critical medical treatments. We offer over 80 disease-specific funds to help people with their out-of-pocket treatment costs and other types of support, such as financial assistance for transportation costs related to treatment. In addition, we’ve achieved major policy victories that increase access to care, mobilized patient advocates to call for change, and educated people nationwide on critical healthcare-related topics.
I have rare condition called Cardiac Amyloidosis. The current prescribed medication is Vyndamax. This medications costs $21,215.68 per month prior to insurance and we have been paying out of pocket 16,000 per year. I am retired and living on a fixed income. For three years I have been paying for this medication with no assistance. I have been draining my savings and it had become increasing difficult to keep up with all my medical and daily expenses. I am so thankful to the Pan Foundation for all their help in paying for my medication and making my life less stressful due to my mounting medical bills. Before they gave me a very generous grant, I was concerned if I was going to be able to continue this vital medication. My experience with everyone involved with making this happen and continuing to support me whenever I have a question or concern has been extremely helpful. Thank you Pan Foundation.
