Financial Assistance Program (FAP)
The FAP offers assistance to patients with insurance, but for whom coverage for the VeriStrat® test was denied or only partially provided, and the balance presents a financial burden. Through this program, many patients are able to receive financial assistance if the patient meets eligibility requirements.
When a VeriStrat test has been performed and a patient would like to apply for financial assistance to cover a remaining balance,
(s)he may complete and submit the Financial Assistance Program Application. The application includes contact and income information (proof-of-income documentation must be submitted with the application). Once received, Biodesix will review the application and determine if the patient’s balance will be reduced.
Please note that a Biodesix representative will be appointed to each patient who seeks FAP assistance. This representative will offer assistance with various tasks, such as completing and submitting the application, appealing a denied application, and establishing a payment plan if an appeal is denied.
Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for the FAP, a patient must be a US citizen or legal resident, must have an annual adjusted gross income of $150,000 or less, must provide proof-of-income documentation, and must have had the VeriStrat test performed.
