Who We Are
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and we need your help to find a cure. Our mission is to discover treatments and a cure for ALS and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest. The ALS Association's nationwide network of chapters and other partners provides localized patient and family support in communities across the country. This network of chapter-based professionals delivers a robust portfolio of care and support programs designed to enhance the quality of life and support families affected by ALS.
The ALS Insurance Navigator online tool helps people effectively and efficiently navigate ALS health insurance denials and appeals. The tool provides step-by-step guidance for navigating the appeals process, including access to letter templates, timelines, and tips for building a strong case. Additionally, it connects individuals to key resources, such as the ALS Association's care services team and our partnership with the Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF) to provide The ALS Insurance and Benefits Resource Line, another option designed to provide individualized case management assistance for people living with ALS, their family members and caregivers.
