When a service isn’t approved by insurance, many blood cancer patients aren’t sure what their options are, or whether they can ask for a review. What’s important to know: denials can be appealed, and patients have the right to do so. Through our Medical Debt Case Management Program, patients can access free support from Case Managers with claim denials and prior authorization challenges. You don’t have to navigate it alone 👉 bcutd.org/3OUIjEp

Our community has something to celebrate today! 🎉 The @FDA has expanded the use of a combination treatment for multiple myeloma, allowing it to be used earlier when the disease returns or starts to worsen. More options mean more hope for patients and families. Learn more: bloodcancerunited.org/resources/news…

“Before my myeloma diagnosis, life moved fast. I had never even heard of multiple myeloma, and that made everything feel isolating. What I know now: you’re not alone, and this isn’t an immediate death sentence.
