Talk to a Patient Advocate About Your Financial Options
Most families don't realize how many programs they qualify for. One conversation can change that.
Speak with a Patient AdvocateFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. Everything we do is free, the consultation, the guidance, and the ongoing support. Our Patient Advocates will help you identify programs you may qualify for, walk you through the application process, and answer your questions at no cost to you.
A Patient Advocate will reach out to you, ask a few questions about your diagnosis and situation, and then help identify which financial support programs may be available to you. This can include programs such as asbestos trust funds, VA benefits, SSDI, or compensation through legal claims. From there, it's up to you to decide how you'd like to move forward.
Many families do. For example, a veteran diagnosed with mesothelioma could be eligible for VA benefits and multiple asbestos trust fund claims, all at the same time. More than $30 billion has been set aside in asbestos trust funds alone. A Patient Advocate can help you understand which combination of programs applies to your specific situation.
Not at all. Most people who contact us aren't sure where to start, and that's exactly what our Patient Advocates are here for. You don't need to have any paperwork ready or know the details of your exposure history. Just share what you can about your diagnosis and we'll help figure out the rest.
Absolutely. In fact, many of the people who contact us are spouses, adult children

, or caregivers reaching out for a parent or partner. Your Patient Advocate can work with you directly and help coordinate support for your loved one, whether they're currently in treatment or you're exploring options on their behalf.
