Additional Financial Assistance Resources
Industry Sponsored Patient Assistance Programs
Financial assistance support programs sponsored by industry assist men with financial support to pay for the prostate cancer medication, testing, durable medical equipment (DME), and other products and services that the companies manufacture. Each program is different so it is important to contact programs individually to learn about what they offer and if you are eligible for assistance. If you need help determining which program is right for you, ask your doctor’s office for the name of the manufacturer of your treatment.
