Have you ever been asked to fill out a survey about what it’s like to live with alopecia areata — for you or your child? When you share how this disease affects your daily life and how it makes you feel, your answers do more than just sit in a file — they become part of important research. Every story and every survey helps researchers better understand the real impact of alopecia areata.

Join Dr. Arash Mostaghimi and Samantha Gregoire as they talk about their research, inspired by the alopecia areata community. They’ll explain how your experiences and voices are driving progress toward better care and a better understanding of this autoimmune disease.

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.
