The study is designed to document the health insurance literacy as well as the patient experience in Niemann-Pick as it relates to accessing desired care, services and medications for patients. The outcome of this research will be used to inform various other workstreams as NNPDF works to assist families.   If you are interested in learning more about the study or participating in the study, click here or visit www.clinicaltrials.gov, using the identifier
