Medical Outreach
When we received the news my father had mesothelioma, we were shocked and really knew nothing about this cancer. Fortunately, we quickly discovered the Mesothelioma Center and they were a wealth of knowledge for me and my family. They were helpful as we tried to understand the medical diagnosis, treatment options, weighing the pros and cons of treatment given my father's health situation, etc. My father was a navy veteran and they also provided helpful insight as we navigated the VA processes which were all new to us. Last, we were not aware of the trust funds that have been established to assist families of mesothelioma and Abestos related sicknesses, and the Mesothelioma center was also very helpful in making us aware of the possible financial assistance available to victims. Thank you Mesothelioma Center for all the information, insights and assistance that you have provided to my family!
Scrambling to find answers to my brother-in-law’s abrupt shocking diagnosis of Mesothelioma quickly led me to the Asbestos Org. Danielle and the others here were fast responding and extremely helpful and supportive leading to my brother-in-law’s surgery by the best group possible at Wake Forest Babtist. These folks are very helpful assisting you through the frightening diagnosis of Mesothelioma
I have a complicated case in regard to DIC. Have been very stressed; distressed and overwhelmed. I found Aaron Munz online, thank God, and he is wonderful. Informative, knowledgeable, and the best part: patient and kind. Many complicated things going on at once in my head were simplified by him into somethihg I can handle. I was nervous but he was calm. He cares and is very willing to help. He sincerely wants the best for us. The VA should feel very fortunate to have him.
Aaron did a virtual training for us here at Harris County Veteran Services and it was very informative. We have since sent veterans for assistance with asbestos exposure claims. Thanks for your continued support!
I have had the pleasure of hearing Aaron present on Asbestos exposure related illnesses on several occasions. His presentations are always packed with the most up to date usable information. I would highly recommend his presentation and access to his organization to any entity who oversees, trains, or employs VSO's. Thank you, Aaron!

How Medical Outreach Helps Patients
Our Medical Outreach team can help people with mesothelioma apply for financial assistance, grants, Social Security Disability Insurance and VA benefits. They also answer health insurance questions and assist you with insurance issues and appeals.
We help patients modify insurance plans for better coverage and assist you in finding supplemental insurance to cover the 20% of out-of-pocket expenses Medicare does not cover.
Our team sends patients and loved ones a customized information packet. It contains a medical record organizer, mesothelioma books, a checklist of all the resources available to them and much more.
These resources help you understand your treatment options and how to pay for treatment expenses. Cancer treatment is expensive, and there are ways people diagnosed with mesothelioma can access compensation. Lawsuits, asbestos trust funds, and VA benefits also help families afford oncology care.
