We know factor products and supplies are very costly. As a federally designated hemophilia treatment center, the Boston Hemophilia Center negotiates highly competitive rates with commercial insurers and provides discounts to MassHealth.
Proceeds from the Factor Program support such important initiatives as:
- Clinical services
- Data collection to improve care
- Educational programs
- Special projects like the oral history project "The Gift of Experience" and the book The Gift of Experience: Conversations about Hemophilia
- Grants to non-profit organizations that support hemophilia patients and their families
