Patient Assistance Programs

There are a number of programs available to help people with cystic fibrosis afford the medical care and drugs they need. Many people don’t realize that they qualify for these assistance programs.

If you (or a loved one with cystic fibrosis) has trouble paying for your health care, the CF Foundation recommends that you contact your local CF care center to find out what kind of help is available in your area. Your CF care center is the best source for up-to-date information on health care coverage programs in your state.
