Copay Assistance From The Assistance Fund Now Available for Eligible People Living With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2025 / The Assistance Fund, an independent charitable patient assistance organization that helps patients and families facing high medical out-of-pocket costs, today announced the launch of a new copay assistance program for people living with eosinophilic esophagitis. The program is designed to help eligible individuals pay for their out-of-pocket medical costs for treatment, such as copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic condition of the esophagus that leads to difficulty swallowing. The esophagus is the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach. People living with eosinophilic esophagitis require dietary changes and medication in order to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms.[1]
"For people living with eosinophilic esophagitis, the cost of treatment can be overwhelming-from medications to frequent procedures and dietary support," said Danielle Vizcaino, President and CEO of The Assistance Fund. "Our Eosinophilic Esophagitis Copay Assistance Program reflects a commitment from TAF and our generous donors to help people afford the treatment they need to manage their condition."
