Helping you find ways to pay for your medicine

PAH Pathways counselors understand that you may have concerns when it comes to paying for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy. That's why they offer comprehensive and practical reimbursement information.

PAH Pathways counselors help simplify the process by:

  • Verifying your insurance coverage
  • Clarifying your potential co-payment or out-of-pocket amount before your prescription is filled
  • Assisting with claims appeals and grievances
  • Offering information about potential financial assistance for patients who are uninsured or who need help paying for their medication
