^The LCA Community advocates for having the treatment covered by insurances in the future and provide patients that can't afford the treatment, free access to the treatment in cooperation with the Help4Apheresis Foundation (help4apheresis.org). This will be funded by donations and therefore appointments that are free of charge might be unavailable or limited.
^^How we manage slots that get cancelled just before a patient travels to a clinic (-->from the Lastminiute List) or that get cancelled on the same day of treatment in a clinic (-->from the Standby List): There is two exceptions for the otherwise strictly first come first serve list to avoid patients/clinics losing appointment slots: Last minute list (people who can literally hop on the next train or plane and fill appointment slots that were cancelled last minute) Standby list (people who can live next to a clinic for a month or two and pick up local spontaneous cancellations in realtime (for example if a patient does not feel well in the morning and cancels an hour before - they get a call and an hour later receive treatment)
