Accessia Health is a national nonprofit patient assistance organization that provides programs and services to individuals of all ages who are living with a rare or chronic health condition. With over ninety board-approved disease programs and more than $1 billion in assistance distributed, we offer case management, education, and financial support for health insurance premiums, medication copayments, travel, and other essential medical expenses.
Going beyond copays, we’re focused on addressing unmet needs in healthcare, including paying for important expenses such as diagnostic tests, durable medical equipment, dental services, and more. Our holistic, person-first approach offers patients comprehensive support throughout their healthcare journey.
Through community-based initiatives, we’re expanding the range of health and related needs that can be addressed on a local level, ensuring access to resources that help manage chronic conditions. Healthcare is complex and confusing and Accessia Health is here to provide help and hope when you need us most.
Our disease-specific patient programs have been established to provide financial assistance for copays, health insurance premiums, travel costs, and other medical expenses.
Providing support to those with complex health conditions for over 35 years, we’re dedicated to ensuring that every individual has equitable access to healthcare. Our team is committed to offering support and hope for those in need.
Accessia Health is evolving beyond the traditional patient assistance model. Our Healthy People. Healthy Communities. initiative focuses on empowering communities, enhancing health literacy, and establishing a sustainable model for equitable healthcare access and outcomes. Through this initiative, we are creating customizable programs based on the specific needs of each partner organization or location.
Programs target health disparities in underserved communities by addressing key social determinants of health, such as housing, transportation, and food insecurity, which have a profound impact on overall well-being. In partnership with local organizations, faith-based groups, healthcare providers, and community health workers, Accessia Health works to identify gaps in care and develop tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each community. We offer educational resources, chronic disease management, care coordination, and access to screenings and diagnostic services, with a focus on high-risk areas and those who are privately insured or uninsured.
