Four ways to get support beyond a TotalAssist fund
From one-on-one navigation to small grants and a national directory — these services connect you to the right help for your situation.
Case management services
Get one-on-one support from trained professionals who can help you navigate insurance issues, access care, and resolve challenges related to treatment and costs. Help is free for eligible patients and their families. To get started, call 800-532-5274, Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 5:00pm ET.

FundFinder
FundFinder is a free website that helps you track more than 200 patient assistance funds from eight charitable organizations. You can sign up for email, text alerts, and automated phone calls when a disease fund you’re interested in opens at Patient Advocate Foundation’s TotalAssist program or other organizations.
Financial aid funds
Patient Advocate Foundation Financial Aid Funds provide small grants to patients who meet financial and medical criteria. Grants are provided on first-come, first served basis and are distributed until funds are depleted. Qualifications and processes for each fund may differ based on individual fund requirements.
