This support group is an ideal place to come and talk with others about living with alopecia areata. It is the place to gain knowledge from those who have had years of experience.

We are very fortunate that so many are willing to bring to the meetings their wisdom and advice to share in a direct but compassionate manner that reflects understanding and concern.

Unlocking Access: Understanding Insurance & Patient Assistance Programs for Alopecia Areata Treatment

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2025 4PM PST/ 6PM CST/ 7PM EST

You’ve made the decision with your healthcare provider to begin treatment with a JAK inhibitor for severe alopecia areata. What comes next?
Accessing specialty medications like JAK inhibitors involves more than just picking up a prescription at your local pharmacy. The process often includes steps like obtaining prior authorization, managing potential insurance denials, and coordinating with specialty pharmacies. Fortunately, your healthcare provider’s team, patient assistance programs, and resources from NAAF are available to support you along the way.
Join this informative webinar to learn about the process of accessing JAK inhibitor treatments, how to advocate for coverage, and where to find help and guidance throughout the treatment journey. Dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Fu, Medication Access Specialist Maecy Torres and Biologic Coordinator Janelle Ball will share their expertise and take questions.
