The North Carolina Oncology Management Society’s Patient Advocacy Committee provides members with current patient advocacy issues relating to oncology patients that have the potential to affect the professional or business interests of oncology practices across North Carolina.

The following resources may be used to identify financial assistance programs for patients receiving specific oncology agents:

Additional information may be found in the ACCC Patient Assistance and Reimbursement Guide.

Bobbie Buell has introduced a one-stop resource tool to assist in identifying financial assistance programs.

This tool can be found at assistPoint.com.
