Six areas of financial research
The Financial Relief Map™ covers six categories of potential cancer financial assistance — helping families identify possible resources and organize next steps.
We research cancer-specific foundations, disease-specific grants, and national assistance programs matched to your diagnosis, income level, and geography.
Most major cancer drugs have manufacturer patient assistance programs. We identify which ones apply to your medications and manage the application process.
We review your Explanation of Benefits for errors, identify denied claims worth appealing, and help you build the documentation for a successful appeal.
Co-pay assistance programs can reduce your out-of-pocket drug costs to near zero. We identify every program you qualify for and handle enrollment.
If treatment is affecting your ability to work, we help you understand SSDI, FMLA, short-term disability, and other income-protection options.
Most hospitals have charity care and financial hardship programs that are never proactively offered. We identify and apply for every program available at your treatment center.

What is the Financial Relief Map™?
The Financial Relief Map™ is Beacon Cancer Navigation's structured approach to cancer financial navigation. It is a service component — a process for helping families identify, organize, and pursue available financial assistance resources, including possible co-pay assistance, hospital financial assistance, transportation and lodging resources, nonprofit support options, prescription assistance pathways, and insurance-related paperwork needs.
Can you guarantee I will receive financial assistance?
No. Beacon Cancer Navigation cannot guarantee approval for grants, financial assistance programs, insurance appeals, or nonprofit support. Our role is to help families identify, organize, and pursue available options as part of non-clinical logistical support.
Is the Financial Relief Map™ a separate paid package?
No. Financial navigation is a service component, not a standalone package. It is included as part of the First 72 Hours After Diagnosis and ongoing monthly support. You can request a Financial Relief Map™ Review to discuss your situation and determine whether the First 72 Hours After Diagnosis is the right next step.
Do I need to be in financial hardship to request a review?
No. Many assistance programs are not income-tested. Pharmaceutical patient assistance programs, co-pay assistance, and many disease-specific grants are available regardless of income. A review can help identify what options may exist for your specific situation.
What if I already have good insurance?
Good insurance reduces your exposure but does not eliminate it. Co-pay assistance programs, pharmaceutical assistance, and grants are often available even with strong coverage. A Financial Relief Map™ Review can help identify resources that may apply to your situation.
A Financial Relief Map™ Review can help your family identify possible next steps for organizing financial assistance resources. After reviewing your request, Beacon Cancer Navigation may recommend the First 72 Hours After Diagnosis if more personalized support is needed.
