Patient Advocacy Foundation expands funding for people in need of colorectal cancer care assistance
In September 2010, the Patient Advocacy Foundation significantly expanded its Colorectal Care Line (CCL) to serve an additional 7,200 colorectal patients each year. The new program offerings are designed to assist the growing numbers of colorectal cancer patients contacting PAF for access to care support, debt relief and financial assistance.
The new Colorectal Financial Assistance Fund will be providing one time grants, in the amount of $400.00, to financially-eligible colorectal cancer patients who have unmet transportation expenses, including gas, parking, toll and public transportation costs associated with their medical care. The Fund plans to serve approximately 1,200 colorectal cancer patients annually regardless of insurance status or site of care. Patients and caregivers can access the Financial Assistance Fund at 1-866-657-8634.
