New Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills Now in Place
The No Surprises Act took effect Jan. 1, thanks to the pulmonary hypertension and rare disease communities. The law applies to people with employer-provided or individual health insurance, such as marketplace plans. It protects them from being billed for out-of-network care in situations where they can’t choose providers, such as emergency care.
Learn About the PH Drug Discovery and Clinical Trial Process
New videos are available from the Pulmonary Hypertension Association about the process of developing safe, effective pulmonary hypertension treatments. The videos are designed to help viewers understand the process to bring new treatments to consumers.
PHA Offers Copay Assistance Resource Center

The Pulmonary Hypertension Association is monitoring the funds daily and will notify the community when the funds reopen.

Mark your calendars for new events to bring together the pulmonary hypertension community and raise money. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association is planning O2breathe events to support its patient and caregiver services, education programs and research initiatives.

The beginning of a new year is always an exciting time. For me, 2022 marks the start of my second year at the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA). When I joined PHA, my No. 1 goal was to ensure that patient care was at the center of our activities.
