This was our longest runs ever of having the program open! We reopened the program on January 4, 2022. In those 4 months we received 231 applications to our program, and of those, we approved 194. The rejections were due to patients not meeting the qualifications of tumor type, income or having insurance.
We gave out a total (since the program started in Dec 2011) of $9.98 million dollars in grants to patients to help them get access to the treatments they need! Each patient gets a grant of up to $5,000 which they use for the copays for Optune, Temodar, Avastin and Gleostine as well as the generics of these treatments. If they do not use the entire grant in a 1 year period, we take back the remaining funds and add it back into our copay fund to be reused for someone else!
5/16/22 We have run out of funds so we have to close to new and renewal patients. We will try to reopen as soon as possible as donations come in!
