Financial coach program

A very common concern with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients . 

Below is a new Financial Coach Program available at Healthtree. 
I have seen various team members struggle with financial issues upon diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma especially if they do not have Medicare or effective healthcare resources. You may want to check out Healthtree as they have a new Multiple Myeloma Financial Coach program. You can use your search engine to locate the Healthtree website. I hope this helps you and others on our team.

Social Security Disability questions
