Connect With Services

When PAF originally opened its doors in 1996, it did so offering one-on-one personal advocate services to patients battling serious disease. Today personalized case management remains core to what we do for patients, yet PAF has added numerous additional areas of support to assist patients with the costs of care and practical expenses. All services are provided individually to those patients that are facing a chronic, life-threatening or debilitating diagnosis, and the caregivers and providers that are working on behalf of a patient.

FAQ

If you have questions, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for a complete list of the most frequently asked items about PAF and its services.

 
"As a person with two chronic illnesses, Crohn’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, life gives you challenges. PAF reviewed my meditations and what co-pay assistance is available to defray my cost. They show local, state, and county benefits, such as fuel assistance, utilities shut-off protection, transitional assistance with food, medical bills, etc. PAF is a direct patient advocate from eligibility, enrollment and to approval. This is a wonderful organization. They decipher to mountains of directions and get patient to the help available. My sincere thanks."
"Not only did we face life threatening situations, but we were faced with tens of thousands in medical bills after our insurance company denied all claims from two separate hospital visits as due to pre-existing conditions. PAF patiently and thoroughly explained the appeals process, and then coached us through negotiation of bills from the hospital and more than a dozen other providers. They even contacted my provider to advocate on our behalf, adding credibility and professionalism to our ultimately successful negotiations. As a result we saw our total costs for all related bills reduced to about a third of the original amount."
"This was the best thing that has happened to me. I was ready to quit my treatments as my bills were piling up higher and I didn’t know what to do! The program lets you go ahead and get treatment when you need it."
