Are there grants available to help with the cost of tafamidis?

Yes, several organizations offer financial assistance for tafamidis. Here are some options to explore:

Drug Manufacturer Programs:
- The company that makes tafamidis offers patient access coordinators (PACs) who can help you navigate insurance coverage and connect you with assistance programs
- They have different programs depending on your insurance type, and a PAC can help determine which one you qualify for

Independent Grant Programs:
- The HealthWell Foundation provides funds for amyloidosis treatments, including medications like tafamidis
- The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) helps with out-of-pocket medication costs
- The Patient Access Network has an Amyloidosis Fund (currently with a waitlist)

Each program has different eligibility requirements based on factors like insurance type, income, and whether you're receiving other assistance. Most have online applications you can start right away.

Your healthcare provider or specialty pharmacy may also have care coordinators who can help you identify and apply for these programs. Don't hesitate to ask for help navigating the financial assistance process.
