Help with Financial Assistance
Our RareCare program helps patients obtain life-saving or life-sustaining medication they could not otherwise afford. The program also provides financial assistance with insurance premiums and co-pays, diagnostic testing assistance, and travel assistance for clinical trials or consultation with disease specialists.
Help with Caregiver Aid
Caring for a loved one demands significant amounts of time, attention, patience and dedication. Our Respite Program provides financial assistance to enable caregivers a break to attend a conference, event or simply have an afternoon or evening away from caregiving. We grant up to $800 annually for those who qualify.
Help with Emergency Relief
We have teamed up with the MedicAlert Foundation to provide protection to rare disease patients in emergency situations. The program provides eligible individuals with a MedicAlert product and three years of membership with a new membership using the tracking code: NORD. MedicAlert will donate 20% of the membership fees to NORD to further our mission of providing care and resources for those living with rare disorders.
