WHO WE HELP
We support Coloradans whose care is at risk because of cost.
—> A specific cost — a prescription, an appointment, equipment, or a co-pay — is keeping you from continuing your care.
—> You live in Colorado.
—> Other resources (insurance, manufacturer assistance, hospital aid) haven't fully covered the gap.
Not sure if you qualify? Apply anyway. We review every request individually, and we’d rather hear from you than have you guess.

Eligibility

You may be eligible if you live in Colorado, have a medical expense you can't afford, and the expense is connected to your care or treatment. We review every application individually, so if you're not sure, we encourage you to apply.

No. You can apply whether you have insurance, are underinsured, or have no insurance at all. Many of the people we help have insurance but still can't afford a co-pay, prescription, or out-of-pocket cost.
