Your Assistance. Your Choice.

At Accessia Health, we’ve been hard at work finding new ways for our patients to have greater flexibility with their assistance. We’re excited to announce program improvements that will allow for financial assistance to be used in the most effective way possible. This new way of supporting our patients is called Your Assistance. Your Choice.

Accessia Health provides 4 types of financial assistance – travel, medical expenses, insurance premiums, and medication copays. And up until now, our patients have been provided separate, defined dollar amounts for each of those assistance categories.

As of May 1, 2023, our patients will now receive just one total amount* which can be used for all available types of assistance within a program.  *travel expense limited to $500

Any funding that you used from January through April will count towards the amount you have available for the rest of 2023.
