Important Resources

Managing the financial aspects of care can be overwhelming for patients and caregivers as they apply for health insurance, file insurance claims and make co-payments. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provides resources to help people who are facing these challenges.

• Copay assistance: Financial support eases the cost of copayments or insurance premiums for prescription drugs.

• Susan Lang Pay-It Forward Patient Travel Assistance: Blood cancer patients who have significant financial need may qualify to receive financial assistance for ground transportation, air travel and lodging expenses related to their care.
• Other resources: Additional information may lead to more assistance with prescription drug and stem cell transplantation costs.
• Most drug companies have programs for qualifying patients to mitigate the cost of cancer drugs.

The CLL Society also serves as a resource regarding clinical trials, conferences, support groups and doctors recommended by patients. The website allows users to send questions to doctors or pharmacists and download a template to keep track of lab results.
