The Assistance Fund Launches New PTSD Financial Assistance Program

The Assistance Fund (TAF), known for its efforts to provide financial relief to patients facing high medical costs, has recently introduced a financial aid program tailored for individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Announced on March 25, 2024, this initiative aims to ease the financial burden associated with the treatment of PTSD by covering out-of-pocket expenses like copayments, health insurance premiums, and other related medical expenses. PTSD, a condition triggered by experiencing a traumatic event, varies in symptoms and impact, necessitating diverse treatment approaches.

Danielle Vizcaino, the President and CEO of TAF, emphasized the importance of treatment over stigma for those living with PTSD. The program is a testament to The Assistance Fund's commitment, along with its donors, to improve access to mental health treatments. Eligible parties interested in applying for this financial assistance are encouraged to visit tafcares.org or contact a Patient Advocate at (855) 681-2861. The website also lists other disease programs TAF supports, underlining its extensive efforts to alleviate the financial strain on affected individuals and families.
