MMRF Teams Up with PAN Foundation to Support Multiple Myeloma Patients Entrepreneur Jason Pflaum founded Plum Tree Advisors, a financial management consulting firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In addition to his professional responsibilities, Jason Pflaum is involved with several charitable organizations, including the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).
The MMRF recently announced its partnership with the Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation. Together, the organizations aim to provide educational programs, medical support, and research to assist underinsured individuals diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a common blood cancer with a five-year survival rate. The collaboration also gives qualified candidates access to $12,500 in financial aid annually through the PAN Foundation. These funds make it possible for patients to pay deductibles and co-pays in order to receive critical treatments.
Eligibility for financial assistance is based on financial need and level of insurance coverage. In terms of the former, an individual considered to be at or below 500 percent of the federal poverty level meets the organizations’ requirement. The person must also possess insurance that covers medications that treat multiple myeloma. Only those living and obtaining care in the US are considered for support.
