CancerHawk: WTF are Co-Pay Relief Programs?

Co-Pay Relief Programs?help people who have private insurance (or Medicare part D) but cannot afford their co-pays. ?No matter how much money you have, the out-of-pockets expenses associated with cancer can be tremendous. ?Even though we had excellent insurance coverage, we still racked up hundreds & hundreds of dollars a month in co-pays alone. ?We literally had a co-pay every time we walked into the Oncologist's office. ?Alan's first treatment regimen required that he visit the Oncologist's office a minimum of 14 days every 5 weeks. ?And those co-pays sure add up quickly!
