This section provides you with information about financial assistance resources for cancer patients at MSK and outside MSK. This includes MSK’s Financial Assistance Program and prescription assistance programs.
To speak with someone about your options, contact your Patient Financial Navigator.
A Patient Financial Navigator can help you:
- Understand your health insurance and what it covers
- Figure out how much your care may cost
- Review your medical bills and see how much you owe
- Find out if you can get help paying for care and medicine
- Get updates on prior authorization (when your insurance must approve care before you get it)
- See which insurance plans MSK has a relationship with
Call your doctor’s office and ask to speak with your Patient Financial Navigator. If you don’t know your doctor’s office phone number, call 212-639-2000. You can also look it up on our Find a Doctor page.
Financial Assistance Program for Patients
Managing the cost of your cancer treatment can be stressful and difficult. If you are having a hard time paying for your care, you can apply for MSK’s Financial Assistance Program (FAP). To apply, you’ll need to meet income requirements and give MSK documentation such as proof of your income as well as information about your personal background.
