Accessing care
Improving your health insurance: working with your health plan

What can make the difference between obtaining the medication you need and being denied coverage by your health plan? Becoming your own best health care advocate!

The following resources are designed to help you get the care you need, whether you are working with a health plan or applying for disability.

We encourage you to learn about your health plan and its specific medical coverage policies. Please visit our online health plan directory to view medical policies specific to the treatment of psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis.

We can also help you work with your health plan to receive the treatments prescribed by your doctor. For a comprehensive look at the health plan appeals process, please see our Access Action Guide.

Our frequently asked questions (FAQ) page about health insurance is also a good place to start. If you have additional questions, please e-mail advocacy@psoriasis.org. Please note that the National Psoriasis Foundation cannot offer legal advice or comment on specific health plans.
