With the uncertainty of healthcare, many in the bleeding disorders community are concerned about the future of cost and access to factor products. Co-payments and out-of-pocket expenses can be devastating on a family’s budget. Many manufacturers of factor products have co-pay assistance programs that can provide a source of relief.
