org Research: patientinsightinstitute. org The PAN Foundation today opened a new myasthenia gravis health insurance premium financial assistance program, providing up to $2,600 to help eligible patients pay for their out-of-pocket health insurance premium costs. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune, neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which the body uses for breathing and movement.

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke , approximately 132,400 people are living with myasthenia gravis in the U.S. About 15 to 20 percent of people with myasthenia gravis experience at least one myasthenic crisis, which is when severe muscle weakness causes respiratory failure and requires emergency care.

“With no cure, living with myasthenia gravis can require life-long treatment with high out-of-pocket costs for many,” said Kevin L. Hagan, PAN’s President and CEO. “Since 2021 we’ve offered a myasthenia gravis copay fund and we are pleased to now offer patients an insurance premium fund as well, because we know the financial burden of living with a chronic illness is great.

We thank the support of PAN’s generous donors for allowing us to offer this new assistance program. ” Patients who qualify are eligible to receive up to $2,600 in financial assistance to pay for their health insurance premiums.
