LifeLine
A financial safety net for the bleeding disorders community
Treating and managing a bleeding disorder is often an extremely costly endeavor. The Lifeline Program is a fund through which individuals with bleeding disorders can receive financial help with high insurance premiums, COBRA payments, catastrophic out-of-pockets, and medical expenses associated with the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding disorders. The program is administered by the Utah Hemophilia Foundation.
Financial assistance through the Lifeline Program is available to many within Utah's bleeding disorders community. If you feel that you are eligible to participate, we encourage you to complete and submit an application. Applications are available down below or by request to the staff of the Utah Hemophilia Foundation by phone (801) 484-0325 or by email at info@hemophiliautah.org.
