We are here for you.
CF is complicated. Getting the coverage you need to stay healthy shouldn’t be.
Today’s healthcare landscape can be hard to navigate. A growing number of people with CF are finding themselves facing difficult choices about their or their child’s healthcare — even postponing care and cutting back on medications — due to financial concerns.
The CF Foundation is dedicated to helping all people with CF get the coverage they need to keep their CF treatment and health on track.
We have created a network of resources to help you make the most of your healthcare coverage, decide on coverage that's right for you or to find programs that can help you pay for treatment.
