How to Get Help With the Cancer Bills
Leukemia (CLL)
Some people say that paying for cancer treatment ends up being more challenging than the treatment itself.
It’s rare for health insurance to pay for 100 percent of your cancer treatment. It’s something most people struggle with. However, there are resources that you may not know about. For example, it’s common for doctors to get on the phone and advocate on your behalf with your insurance company. Many drug companies and clinical trials also offer patient assistance programs. You may be eligible for these. The social workers at your cancer care clinic can help guide you through the various options. Patient advocacy groups are also willing to help in several ways–and your church or social group may be another source of support.
