Ask CancerCare

There are many financial assistance programs available to help with the cost of cancer treatments. Financial assistance programs in general have specific eligibility criteria that need to be met in order to qualify. It is important to have the following information available when seeking assistance: primary cancer diagnosis, number of people in the household, annual household income, insurance type and the name of the treatments prescribed. Organizations such as CancerCare can help by providing resources locally and nationally through our online Helping Hand Resource guide available at https://www.cancercare.org/helpinghand or by speaking with one of our oncology social workers at 800-813-HOPE (4673).
