Patient Advocate Foundation’s Co-Pay Relief (CPR) program, launched in 2004, can provide direct financial assistance to qualified patients with co-payments, co-insurance or cost-sharing through funds dedicated to specific disease states, including all therapeutic, supportive, generic or bioequivalent products prescribed to treat and/or manage the patient’s disease or condition. Financial assistance is also available for health insurance premiums in some disease funds.

PAF Mission & History
All Patients Deserve an Advocate
“Not everyone, everywhere has access to the same things in the same way. This uneven healthcare “playing field” makes safety net services essential. We know that social and financial constraints should not be deciding factors that drive quality of life and survival of disease. We also know that many patients need an advocate to have an equitable chance at attaining quality healthcare.”
Alan J. Balch, PhD
Chief Executive Officer
" Without your Co-Pay Relief Program how would we get treatment? I hadn’t realized this assistance was available – I’m grateful! "
Janet | Breast Cancer" Without the assistance received from CO-PAY RELIEF I would not have been able to afford the [medication] necessary to fight the Multiple Myeloma and to maintain the remission status I have achieved. Because of the continued assistance provided by CO-PAY RELIEF my life is almost back to normal. Thank you for the assistance you make available. It can make a difference between life and death for many patients. "
Mary | Multiple Myeloma" There are not enough words in the dictionary to express my sincere appreciation for the financial assistance you are providing me… I will never forget your kindness. "
Sally | Myelodysplastic Syndrome" We can’t begin to express our thankfulness to you for helping our family during this time of crisis. Thank you so very much. You are a blessing! "
Mildred | Electrolyte Imbalance" Greatest impact I have ever had is because PAF saved me [hundreds of dollars] on my medication that I take for ulcerative colitis. Thanks PAF, again and again … "
Ferris | Ulcerative Colitis" …PAF helps people obtain much needed medications for their illnesses…I was so happy and relieved to receive this generous grant. Having a life threatening disease is stressful enough, but the relief of this financial burden is truly a blessing… "
