Episode #69: Understanding the Financial Burden of IBD | Kevin Harlen & Laura Wingate | Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation
Kevin Harlen interviews Laura Wingate, chief education, support, and advocacy officer with the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation about a recent survey which shows that more than 40 percent of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have made significant financial trade-offs to afford their healthcare.
The survey, published in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, included responses from more than 2,200 IBD patients and caregivers, who highlighted persistent challenges.
Among respondents, 30 percent reported giving up vacations or major household purchases, 22 percent increased their credit card debt, and 21 percent cut back on essential items such as food, clothing, or basic household items.
Join Kevin and Laura as they explore what can done to ensure that IBD patients can access the medications they need without undue financial hardship.
