The maximum monthly ($500.00) financial assistance is for any or all services per approved patient.
Patients may use the pharmacy of their choice. The patient is responsible to ensure that the pharmacy has the correct billing information and that the CACC has approved financial support for their prescription.
The CACC will provide financial assistance only to medical providers (facilities) and pharmacies for cancer-related expenses. No direct reimbursement will be made to individual patients without the consent and approval of the CACC Board of Directors.
The CACC will not be responsible for financial assistance towards the patient's bill except as provided under the section titles Oncologist/Treatment Facility - Financial Assistance.
The CACC will continue to financial assistance (up to the monthly maximum) for 60 days after the patient's death. Bills, invoices and financial requests received after this will not be assisted by the CACC.
