New Financial Help Available: Up to $4,200 in MASH Medication Assistance from PAN Foundation
Great news for patients living with MASH – significant financial help is now available to reduce your medication costs.
If you've been diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), managing your condition shouldn't come with overwhelming financial stress. The PAN Foundation has just announced the opening of a new copay assistance program specifically designed to help patients like you afford essential MASH medications.
What is MASH?
MASH is a serious liver condition that occurs when fat builds up in your liver, causing inflammation and potential damage. You may have heard it referred to by its previous names – nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
You're not alone in this journey. According to the American Liver Foundation, more than 9 out of 15 adults in the U.S. are living with MASH. Unfortunately, experts project this number will increase by 63% by 2030, making MASH the leading cause of liver transplants today.
How Much Financial Help is Available?
The PAN Foundation's MASH copay assistance program offers substantial support:
- Initial grant: $2,100 to help cover out-of-pocket medication expenses
- Additional funding: If you need more help within the same 12-month period and funds are still available, you can apply for additional assistance
- Maximum annual benefit: Up to $4,200 total per year
This assistance is specifically designed to help reduce the financial burden of your MASH medications, allowing you to focus on your health and treatment rather than worrying about costs.
Why This Matters for Your Health
Managing MASH effectively often requires ongoing medication, and the cost can be a significant barrier to consistent treatment. When patients can't afford their medications, they may:
- Skip doses or stretch prescriptions
- Delay starting necessary treatments
- Experience worsening symptoms and complications
This financial assistance program removes those barriers, helping ensure you can access the medications your doctor prescribes without financial stress.

- Complete the application online through their patient portal
- Work with your healthcare team to ensure all necessary paperwork is submitted
Important Reminders
- Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis
- Applications are processed quickly once all required information is submitted
- You can reapply for additional funding within the same year if needed and funds remain available
- The program is designed specifically for MASH patients who meet eligibility criteria
