Item Description
The NGF has two financial aid programs available, CARE and CARE+PLUS, for all people with Gaucher disease, whether they are on therapy or not. It also makes no difference what drug the tending physician has prescribed.
The CARE program helps patients pay for insurance premiums (primary, secondary or both), which may include medical premiums, dental premiums, vision premiums, or all three. Assistance is given in paying either single or family premiums. There is no maximum amount payable in a one-year period.
The CARE+Plus program helps patients with Gaucher-related expenses that are not covered by insurance (co-pays and deductibles are not covered), such as infusion charges for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) not covered by insurance; travel expenses to and from the office/hospital for ERT or a Gaucher medical evaluation ($100/month maximum); over-the-counter medications that are prescribed for Gaucher disease ($100/month maximum); travel expenses for one Gaucher evaluation/year; and therapies not covered by insurance but prescribed for Gaucher disease such as acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga ($500/month maximum).
