Copay Assistance From The Assistance Fund Now Available for Eligible People Living With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 7, 2026 / 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 myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The program is designed to help eligible individuals pay for their out-of-pocket medical costs for treatment, such as copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
A rare blood cancer, myeloproliferative neoplasms form when patients' bone marrow produces too many blood cells. There are multiple kinds of MPN, and testing is required to determine the particular kind and whether it is likely to increase the risk of anemia, heart attack, or stroke. Treatment often includes stem cell therapy to reduce the number of blood cells.[1]
"People who receive a rare cancer diagnosis face unthinkable stress and worry," said Danielle Vizcaino, President and CEO of The Assistance Fund. "Through our new Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Copay Assistance Program, we're easing patients' financial burdens and helping them access the treatment they need. I'm tremendously grateful for our donors and their continued commitment to the people we serve."
