What is PAF Case Management?

At PAF, we know that living with a serious health condition can be overwhelming. It can complicate daily life and cause extreme stress for patients and families. Challenges like these can distract from what’s most important- treatment and recovery.

We can help patients with:

• Understanding what your health insurance covers and your options if you don’t have insurance
