Financial Assistance
Available to Hemophilia Ontario Members
Financial assistance is available to Hemophilia Ontario members who demonstrate need with expenses incurred in the care, treatment, or prevention of a bleeding disorder. Requests must demonstrate they are directly related to a bleeding disorder, and may require support from the applicant’s HTC team in some cases. Requests for parking must be directed to the HTC, which receives a set amount of funding from Hemophilia Ontario per year to cover these costs.
Hemophilia Ontario does not reimburse expenses that have already been incurred. Incurred expenses will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If you require a service that is not listed below, please submit your request and we will assess it on a case-by-case basis. You will be contacted within 2 business days to assess your request.
For further information please contact Sarah Levy at slevy@hemophilia.on.ca or 647-354-5660
