Patient Financial Aid
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Patient Financial Aid Program offers up to $150.00 per year to help patients offset expenses. Receipts for expenses are no longer required. To apply, the patient must be a U.S. resident and be in active treatment or ongoing medical follow-up for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma or myelodysplastic syndromes or other blood cancer. The patient's physician must complete and sign the bottom portion of the application form. The patient must return the completed application to the local chapter.
The Patient Financial Aid program begins each July 1 and ends each June 30. Patients must reapply every year (after June 30th). As always, reimbursement is based on patient financial aid fund availability.
