PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The American Transplant Foundation is proud to be able to provide real help to real families when they need it the most. We go beyond awareness by providing emotional and financial support to patients and their families.
We help living donors to cover essential living expenses (i.e rent/mortgage) due to lost wages during recovery after surgery so they can heal without facing financial troubles.
For transplant recipients, we help patients to keep the organ that keeps them alive by providing assistance to cover delinquent insurance premiums to prevent loss of insurance coverage, medication co-payments during insurance gap periods, and/or changes to insurance provider. As of April 24th, 2020, we are offering Emergency Grants – please read the guidelines below.
To date, we've provided over $1,168,000 to the most financially vulnerable living donors and transplant recipients nationwide, and worked with over 80 transplant centers. You can hear directly from some of the patients we have helped through this program here.
This is only possible because of our generous financial donors. Thank you all for entrusting us to support the transplant community.
