PNC Bank Reimbursement Updates

The Assistance Fund (TAF) implemented a new process this fall for people enrolled in TAF disease programs who have a TAF-issued PNC Bank debit card. This new process reduces the time it takes to receive your reimbursements. As of Monday, September 23, 2024, TAF provides reimbursements by direct electronic payment. You may continue to use your TAF-issued PNC Bank debit card until Saturday, January 4, 2025; however, the card will be deactivated on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

In the coming weeks, PNC Bank will send you a mailed letter about your debit card being discontinued. A copy of this letter is available below.

As we complete this transition, you may experience a delay in receiving reimbursements. We apologize for the inconvenience. To update your contact preferences and ensure you receive reimbursement communications, log in to your Patient Portal account or call us at (844) 925-8800, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. ET.
