Updated Requirements for CAF’s Treatment Travel Support Program
February 21, 2020 – Cooley’s Anemia Foundation is pleased to announce that it has revised the requirements for travel reimbursement to individuals with thalassemia who experience financial hardship due to travel expenses incurred in obtaining an annual comprehensive care evaluation or extraordinary thalassemia care at a major treatment center. (Extraordinary thalassemia care shall be defined as care recommended by a qualified thalassemia physician which falls outside regular transfusions or comprehensive care – for example, if a patient requires multiple MRI iron assessments which cannot be performed at their home treatment facility.) There is no longer a minimum distance requirement for eligibility. Details and application can be downloaded at the link below.
