Reimbursement PROGRAMs
A financial aid form must be completely filled out and signed by the cancer client and their oncologist to be authorized for services. The cancer client is then eligible to receive $500 in aid for cancer prescriptions through The Drug Store in Iron Mountain or the Norway Pharmacy. This program can also be used to purchase wigs, if necessary.
Once the form is authorized, a Pharmacy Authorization form is sent to the pharmacy informing them that this person is a Cancer Loan Closet client for one year. The client then must bring their cancer prescriptions to the pharmacy to be filled and let the pharmacy know that they are a client. The Cancer Loan Closet will receive a monthly bill and the treasurer will pay the pharmacy directly. Records are kept in order to keep track of when the $500 is depleted.

mileage reimbursement PROGRAM
A financial aid form must be completely filled out and signed by the cancer client and their oncologist to be authorized for services. If they have already filled out a financial aid form for prescription aid, it is only necessary to request that mileage reimbursement be added to their form on file. When the completed financial aid application form is returned to our office, and after approval is received, a transportation form for cancer-related medical appointments is given. This original form must be taken to their appointment and signed by the oncologist, or the person they have designated to do so.
Once the travel form is returned to us, the treasurer will reimburse the cancer client. We have a set amount for each destination with a cap of $90 per trip. This aid covers only mileage – not food or hotel costs. Receipts are not necessary. No reimbursement will be given without a completed original travel form. Therefore, we do not provide this aid in advance of their trip.
The Loan Closet will also assist cancer clients with Ensure and incontinence supplies. This needs to be noted on the financial aid application form.
