The cost of medication for small B-cell lymphoma can be significant, but there are several ways to reduce these expenses:
Patient Assistance Programs
Drug manufacturers offer programs that provide discounts on medication prices. You can find these by searching the name of your drug plus "patient assistance program" online. Resources like NeedyMeds and PhRMA's Medicine Assistance Tool can help match you with programs to afford your medications.
Hospital Financial Assistance
Meet with your hospital or cancer clinic's billing department to discuss:
- Payment plans to spread costs over time
- Funding for under- or uninsured patients
- Charity care options
- Medicare-like discounts
Hill-Burton Facilities are specifically required to provide free or low-cost medical services to those who cannot afford them.
Get Help from Healthcare Staff
Oncology social workers, patient navigators, and financial counselors at your treatment center can guide you through available resources and assistance programs. They're familiar with money-saving options specific to lymphoma care.
Don't ignore medical expenses - addressing them proactively or getting help from a family member, friend, or advocate will prevent financial difficulties from worsening.
