Following the PAF–PAN merger, new financial applications route through TotalAssist as of July 1, 2026: roughly 150 disease-specific and health-equity funds covering medication copays, coinsurance, deductibles, insurance premiums, office visits, and treatment administration. Separately, PAF case management is free to any US patient with a chronic or debilitating illness, and is the main free help available for insurance denials, prior-authorization fights, appeals, and billing negotiation.

Why it's in this index

Whether an open fund currently matches Barth syndrome changes weekly, so check the fund finder. Case management does not depend on a matching fund and is available regardless.

Who can apply

US patients; per-fund financial and diagnosis criteria. Case management has no fund requirement.
