Financial Assistance And finally, don’t assume you won’t qualify for financial assistance. The cost of treatment is expensive and probably always will be. Talk to your doctor or social worker to help you uncover sources that can help you pay for co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance, and other needs. Do this before you find yourself in a financial crisis. Be proactive with understanding your illness and the anticipated change in treatments that may be available for you. Instead of waiting for spring cleaning, take the time to do a financial review now. Go into the new year in the best possible position you can. And then, like getting a check-up on your car, do the same for your financial future every year. After all, you are worth more than a car!!
