Patient Assistance Program

The Patient Assistance Committee (PAC) provides funds for kidney patients in financial need. Hospital and dialysis center social workers forward applications to the PAC. Funds granted to these patients are used to pay for transportation to and from treatments and for such basic living expenses as food, rent, clothing, medications, insurance premiums, utilities, and others.

Note: Because our resources are limited, KT/DA's financial assistance programs are restricted to residents of New England.

Renal social workers in New England can download the Application Form and the statement of Policies and Procedures from this site. These two documents are in Adobe Portable Documentr Format (PDF). To read these you will need the free utility Adobe Acrobat Reader (available from Adobe: click the icon below) unless your browser already has a PDF plug-in. Please make photocopies of the Application for your use.
